ASP.NET Web Project deployed to IIS Express not accessible outside localhost

I have deployed my C# ASP.NET Visual Studio Express 2013 project via the IIS internal Express webserver service.

Locally its great - I can access it at : http://localhost:56473/hello

However if from another PC on my internal network I try to access it via :http://192.168.0.2:56473/hello it gets an http 400 bad request!?

Any ideas - anything obvious I am missing?

Are you on a desktop (vs. web server)?

On a desktop, IIS Express doesn't allow external connections (obviously for security reasons). Having said that and if you know what you're getting into, here's Scott Hanselman on how to do that.

IIS Express isn't for external hosting.

If you want to see your work from an external client, install IIS from the programs and features.

Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features on or off > Internet Information Services.
