[Mapserver-users] localhost works but using IP address givesblackimages

[John Wiley]

Hi Tyler,
To describe our situation a little more...
Basically its the Itasha demo that I re-invented to Parksville... as I have a basic understanding of HTML.
Yes, we are only using IIS as the web server throughout and only using windows client web browsers (just me).  Currently I am just using two computers to test on.
After changing the (All Unassigned) to the IP address on the Gisserver in the Default Web Properties/Web Site dialog, the "Browser" address works with  the IP address as well as "Localhost" on the Gisserver fine  which displays the maps...however the "client" browser still displays black images when connecting to the Gisserver using the IP address.
Going to download complied binary for png instead of gif as suggested by Randy ... also I'm BackCopying our IT professional John Rice who is now helping me on site.  He was asking if there are any Frontpage extension issues as we are using version 2000 not 2003 and if there were any other IIs setting that may be javascript issues. 

Thanks,
John Wiley

I think I understand - perhaps you can describe your setup a bit more so 
we know how you've got things running.
Also, can you confirm that you are only using IIS as the web server 
throughout?  And that you are using windows client web browsers.
