I have tried going over the other forum posts on this issue but unfortunately I'm still not unblocked.
I set up the VM with Server 2012 R2, and set up roles for Application Server and IIS. I have IIS running and can reach the default webpage withhttp://localhost:80 from the machine. But when I try to use the http address for my VM (even from the VM itself) it times out and says the page cannot be reached in IE.
I made sure that the Endpoint for HTTP port 80 TCP is set up for my VM as outlined in this post and this post, but it is still not working.
I then made sure to check the firewall as other posts suggested. I made sure that the default rules "World Wide Web Services (Http Traffic-In) and "World Wide Web Services (HTTPS Traffic-In) are both set to on and allowed.
But I'm still having trouble getting the default page to load. Any other ideas?
