url shows weird string

I'm testing my asp.net website on my local server (Windows Server 2008, IIS 7.0.6), and when I type in just the IP address in my browser, e.g., 

192.168.0.5

it comes back like this:

http://192.168.0.5/(S(u0nmzwxobbwpuk1mtvuybwn0))/default.aspx

The weird stuff between .0.5/ and /default.aspx changes every time I type in the ip and hit enter.

The content shows up correctly, but obviously there's a problem with the url.

Sounds like you might be using cookieless sessions.

Basically ASP.NET is storing your session id in the query string instead of storing it in a cookie. Looks gross, but allows you to use session state when someone does not accept cookies. You can read more here.

Seems like you Have Cookieless Sessions enabled. Below article illustrates the behavior:

MSDN - Cookie Less Sessions in ASP.NET

Changing the Setting in Web.Config can change the behavior:

<sessionState cookieless="true" />

Guessing here - in your web.config file, you have set the sessionState cookieless attribute to UseUri or to true.

See the documentation on the sessionState element.
