I've been having a problem with IIS that I can't solve:
I have 2 PCs connected in the same LAN (let's call them A & B). Both of them run on Windows 7, with IIS 7.5. Both PCs have (inside wwwroot) a folder with a simple .html file. My problem is that although I can access the the A page from B, I can't access the B page from A.
Furthermore, when I put the LAN ip from A in A's Chrome explorer (192.168.2.4) it shows IIS startpage, but when I do the same in B (with 192.168.2.3), it says
Could not establish connection
Any help?

It could be firewall (is port 80 open). Or the IIS set up is wrong - I suggest you load IIS on PC B, and find to the .html file and right click-> browse to check the URL. Then, rename the localhost to the IP in question.
However, the issue sounds like a binding problem. So, just bind the IP to the site (unless you're using dynamic IP). Or, even better, do it by computer name. EG
http://computerName/
