server not receving request by Ip

Question

I've got an issue where my IIS 7 C# server is configured but only reciving requests only when i use http://localhost:6547/ and not when i change the localhost to my own ip. My question is : how do i make the server actually 'listen' to my port and recevie and return requests. facts that might help:

• im using Windows 7
• i gave iUsr and IIS_USER permissions to server's directory
• added listening to 6547 port, in both TCP and UDP
• tried disabling the firewall totally, still haven't worked this way.
• when i try using requests, im using the Advanced Rest Client of chrome, either when i try with my ip or with localhost as mentioned before.

I think its something else related to premissions of remote access. my IIS 7 doesnt have permission manager for some reason even though i really added all the IIS related features available in the windows control panel.

If any data is missing i would gladly provide it.

You need to confirm that your IIS is bound to all ip's (the * in picture below). Open IIS Adminstration->click on iis->click on bindings and update appropriately:
