Change bindingInformation   8080    And remember to turn off the firewall for IISExpress

As mentioned above  edit the application host config  An easy way to find this is run your site in VS using IIS Express  Right click the systray icon  show all applications  Choose your site  and then click on the config link at the bottom to open it   I d suggest adding another binding entry  and leave the initial localhost one there   This additional binding will appear in the IIS Express systray as a separate application under the site   To avoid having to run VS as admin  lots of good reasons not to run as admin   add a netsh rule as follows  obviously replacing the IP and port with your values  - you ll need an admin cmd exe for this  it only needs to be run once   netsh http add urlacl url http   192 168 1 121 51652  user  Everyone   netsh can add rules like url http     51652  but I failed to get this to place nicely with IIS Express  You can use netsh http show urlacl to list existing rules  and they can be deleted with netsh http delete urlacl url blah   Further info  http   msdn microsoft com en-us library ms733768 aspx

I think you can    To do this you need to edit applicationhost config file manually  edit bindingInformation   lt ip-address gt   lt port gt   lt host-name gt     To start iisexpress  you need administrator privileges
