is he an allowed user on your computer/iis settings?

Unless you are using Windows Authentication for the website, that will not matter. Can YOU access the page?

i can access pages in his computer from my browser.
what you mean by allowed user on my computer because i'm not using windows authentication in my web application.is it a IIS Problem?

it is a windows firewall issue.

if you are running Windows XP then the network has a windows firewall on it. click on the following link for a better explanation and how to solve, i had the same issue and this fixed it for me.

hopefully that should work

ps - the bit you want to look at is allowing the firewall to accept http/webserver access

it works.thank you very much Niel.
