I am using IIS7 to run a small website (basically some technical information for myself and a few people that might need this on the road). This has always worked, but now it has stopped. What happens now is that whenever someone tries to open the web page with the FQDN, an error message pops up "This page cannot be displayed" or "Can't reach this page".
My first thought was that something is wrong with the DNS. But I can ping the server:
ping server shows the correctly resolved IP address, but times out (I think the server is set to not respond to pings)
Ping IP address has the same result (times out)
I can open the web page by using the IP address.
When I go to the IIS Manager and drill down to the site, I see the web site listed in the Actions panel under "Browse Web Site". Clicking that brings up the "This page cannot be displayed" on the server.
Could this be related to certificates on the server? I am using http, not https.
Any suggestion for troubleshooting is appreciated.
