Q: On my main server, I can type in the name of the server with the IIS 4.0, and see the IIS server main page (books online icons, etc.). But when I click on book online, it says Access to Internet Serice Manager HTML is restricted to LocalHost - 403.6 Forbidden IP address rejected. What is the problem? A: The default Installation of IIS 4.0 only allows the localhost to view the IIS Help Documentation, a property of virtual root IISHelp off of the Default Web Site. In order to view the documentation from another machine you will have to follow these steps: - Open MMC for IIS 4.0
- Expand the Default Web Site Tree, until you see IISHelp.
- Right click on IISHelp and choose properties from the drop down menu.
- Click on the Directory Security tab.
- Click on the Edit button of the IP Address and Domain Name Restrictions section.
- Click on the Add button and type in the IP of the machine that you want to have access to the documentation.
- Click on OK, OK, and then OK again.
