I installed IIS on a laptop (win 7 professional 64 bit).
Created a website. I been able to view the website within the network.
If i type 192.168.0.227/vdv (local host ip address)(laptop's ip).
Now i need to access this website from outside the network.
I bought a WiFi modem and connected to the lap (now lap is disconnected from LAN). The modem has a dynamic IP & lap is assigned 192.168.100.100. Now i need to access the website which is in the laptop from outside the network .
How to do ?
If I am reading your post correctly, you are running IIS locally but you are having problems connecting when your local IP changes.
By Default, IIS binds to all IP addresses, so it really shouldn't matter if you use your LAN ip or Modem IP. Either way, for simplicity you should either be using localhost or 127.0.0.1 or your machine name as your address. This won't change when your local IP does.
First see if http://localhost/vdv works. If it does then continue to use that, otherwise you may need to change the bindings in your local IIS installation or your application. Make sure it's not listening on a specific IP address.

Both devices are connected to the same WiFi network.
I have set IIS bindings to allow connections to my IP:
However, my computer's IP address is the same as my iPad's.
Is there a way to make this work?
That's not your IP. Every time you use a laptop on a Wifi network, you'll be using the public IP address of whatever network you're on.
The IP address of "your" computer doesn't belong to your computer. It belongs to the network you're connected to. Your computer is just borrowing it for a while.
Try to set a static IP address for your computer and use another machine to send ping command to it. Then use iPad to connect.
Initially when I posted this question, I was using an xfinitywifi hotspot and I assume that came with a whole host of problems. Full-disclosure, I did not figure out how to make it work in this scenario.
However when I moved to my own home wifi network, I was still having this problem.
I had to do two things, one of which, I know is not recommended, but it was really easy.
First, I had to enter my network and sharing center and set my connection as home connection instead of public which is what I previously had it at.
Second, which is not recommended, I turned off Windows firewall. I only do this when I need to access my site from another device for debugging. I turn it back on when I am done. For a more permanent setup I know it is recommended to just enable the port you need, but I could not figure this out.
I have a home PC running Windows 10, no domain controller, and therefore by default I do not have a FQDN for the machine.
I am trying to setup some server software for testing purposes, and it requires that I use a FQDN.
How can I manipulate my hosts file to mimic a FQDN?
Extra info, please let me know in comments if you need more.
There will be no other machines trying to access this other than the machine I am running the software on (my home PC)
I also think that my IP address is not static.
I believe you can just add a host entry corresponding to the IP address of your machine to all machines that need to address it using its FQDN. The hosts file can be found in System32\Drivers\etc. Just add an entry with your IP and the host to it, for example 192.168.0.1 mymachine.local.
Another option would be setting up your own DNS server which is relatively harder. The biggest problem is presented by you not having a static IP address, you should either set a static IP or configure your DHCP server to reserve an IP for you based on your adapter's MAC address.
Here's The Scoop,
I used SET (Social Engineering Toolkit) and made duplicite of a login page, the ip that was used was 10.0.2.15 (Mind you this is on a virtual machine Virtualbox), and when I tried to view it on another computer, it says the server is not responding.I tried to port forward but it was giveing me issues.
is there anything I can do to port forward or do something like that to make the web page connected to the IP viewable on the World Wide Web of another computer.
In other words, the IP's page is only viewable on the same computer who's ip I used to host, can you make it viewable on any computers browser by port forwarding it or something that will work like that.
Use bridging networking for the guest machine. Then, that IP address should be accessible on your network if there are no firewalls enabled.
There are several issues with directly accessing this IP from a separate computer.
First, the forwarding: the computer with the VirtualMachine must accept ip forwarding. This is easy to enable:

Second, the routing: other computers must know who to ask when looking for 10.0.2.15. This is the hardest part. You could try adding a special route rule on the other computer, to set the host as a gateway for 10.0.2.15, but it requires you to make this on every machine that wishes to access the VM.
As Ahmed said, the easiest way is probably to use a network bridge, where the virtual machine will act as any other computer on the network, with a visible IP.
I have set up a Raspberry Pi in my home office with a Linux OS and have installed Apache (PHP/MySQL). Everything is working and I've been able to successfully connect via SSH from my computer while connected to the same network in my home.
I've seen many similar questions on here but none that can outline what I'm trying to do. I have an XFinity Router and can access it's settings using IP 10.0.0.1 locally. I've read into Port Forwarding which I've set up for the Raspberry Pi but now I'm stuck on the next step in the settings to get it set up so I can connect to it remotely (from a network outside my home's). I'm hoping to use this to host web-based PHP scripts that we can run from any web browsers as well as be able to SSH in from any internet connection.
I'm sorry if this is similar to other questions here but the XFinity interface seems to trouble me and it's not making it easy for me to wrap my head around Port Forwarding and what goes into setting this up correctly.
Thanks for your help!
You need to do three things:
Make sure your Raspberry Pi gets the same IP address on your LAN every time. This can be done by configuring your router for DHCP reservation by using the Pi's MAC (ethernet hardware address), if it supports it. To get the Pi's MAC, You can type ipconfig eth0, or you can use Advanced IP Scanner for Windows, or my own Pi Finder for Mac. (Alternatively, you can set your Pi to use a static IP address.)
Forward port 22 (SSH) in your router to the internal IP address you chose. (If your router supports forwarding a different external address to internal port 22, I recommend doing that for extra security.)
Get a consistent external IP address or name, so you can find your home network on the outside. If you don't have a static IP address from your ISP, then you will need a Dynamic DNS service, such as those offered from Dyn.com, no-ip.com, and Namecheap. You'll need to configure your router to update the service, and not all routers support all Dynamic DNS services (or any). (Alternatively, you can install a Dynamic DNS updater client on your Raspberry Pi or other computer on your home network, but that may or may not be easy.)
I can't advise specifics as to how to configure your particular router, but these three steps are what are generally required to do what you want, and the rest is figuring out the specifics of how your router wants it.
Is their a way to access a web server such as windows server 2003 installed on a virtual box such as vmware from the host machine?
If VMware is set to use bridged networking, then each guest OS effectively has its own IP address, like brien said, you just point your browser to that address.
If you configure your virtual machine to use bridged networking, instead of NAT, it will have its own IP address "beside" the host machine, instead of a local IP address "behind" it. Then you can connect to the virtual machine, using that IP number.
(Disclaimer: I've used VMware workstation for several years, but not their server products.)
Yes, you should just be able to point to the IP address of the VM.
How is your VM networking configured?
I am doing this all over the place, just make sure that the vm has an ip configured.
i believe vmware (workstation?) also has built in a virtual network client (VNC) that you can connect to - enable it by going to the configuration properties of the vm, and in the last tab there is a checkbox for it.
IP address should do it.
I faced the same issue. You have to set your networkconnection to "bridged mode" in your VM. Then you have to find out the IP of your Webserver.
Sometimes Webservers have a redirect to a specific URL. In this case you can edit your host-file in C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts and add your IP with the redirected URL like this:
192.168.0.37 some.url-you.need
Then your Host can go to the Webserver. Even participants of your Ethernet can access the Webserver.
