I setup a virtual machine using VMWare with Windows Server 2019 installed. On this server I setup an IIS server. I added these bindings:

enter image description here

I also setup a bridged network so the VM and my surface are connected to the same network. Now I try to access the server using http://roman-server:85/ on all computers connected to the same network. I found out, that iOS and Android are not able to resolve the machine's name so I used the IP address from my VM for this (http://10.1.1.125:85/). Now comes the strange part. This works great with my iPhone, but when I use an android device (I tested multiple android devices) it says that the website is not reachable. I have no clue why android devices are not able to access the page.

I disabled the server's firewall completely so I'm sure that it cannot be the firewall. All devices are connected to the same WiFi network.

Did you check network access from android to IIS by ping command? I thik android devices just can be in different subnet. Check subnet mask too.

  • I just discovered that when I ping (from my windows server) the IP from the android devices, there is no response. When I ping my iPhone I get an answer. So the server cannot find the android devices and vice versa. I'll check the subnet, thanks for the hint – Roman Jul 22 '22 at 09:29
  • Changing the subnet masks helped. This answer helped me a lot to understand how it works, since I'm not that good in networking: https://superuser.com/questions/667970/android-device-is-not-able-to-ping-my-laptop-on-same-network – Roman Jul 22 '22 at 10:34
