I'm very new to setting up databases so please bear with me.
My application(MVC4 with Entity Framework) is has been running locally in IIS Express on my development computer. I was wondering if someone connected in my WLAN network can access it by typing in localhost:XXXXX on their chrome?
I don't need my site on the internet! I just want it to be able to be accessed by people in my WLAN network
Do I need to pay for some kind of database service ? If so can someone link me to one.
Can someone list options for me please.

No, localhost is the address for the local machine. So if someone types localhost:XXXX in a browser on their machine, it would point to IIS Express running (if any) on their machine.
If you want someone in your network access the website running on your computer, you can simply deploy it in IIS running on your machine. Then they could type in your computer's IP address (or name) and access your website provided your machine is turned on and IIS related services are running on your machine :).

The connection to the Azure Percept DK access point frequently disconnects. How to know the root cause of this problem and resolution.
This can be due to a poor connection between the device and the host computer. It can also be caused by interference from other Wi-Fi connections on the host computer.
Make sure that the antennas are properly attached to the dev kit. If the dev kit is far away from the host computer, try moving it closer. Turn off any other internet connections such as LTE/5G if they are running on the host computer.
The connection to the dev kit access point should get more stable with an upcoming operating system refresh. Users on the private preview dev kits should install the update as soon as it is available.
To contextualize, I have locally developped a website connected to a database which is located on a local server. The next step is to host it online. Will I be able to access this database when my site is hosted ?
Thanks in advance.
Technically you could do it If you open your router ports and you expose your network to the internet, however, that’s not recommended in any case. I would recommend you to host the database too.
I have developed an application using sql anywhere database as back end and powerbuilder as front end. it is working on my laptop very well and i have also used this app on network server (without internet ) using wifi on another laptop. in which the program is installed on that other laptop and it connects database stored on my laptop .
now i want to develop a mobile app which should connect to my laptop and use database stored on it. It should connect the database using WIFI network.
i have knowledge of powerbuild simple programing, SQL and Visual basic. but i dont know any thing about mobile app developing.
Please help me to solve my problem.
This shouldn't be too challenging, it sounds like you want the app to connect to a network (or your laptop) database vs. the client machine like any web application and this shouldn't be a challenge other than making sure you've opened up the proper ports for the database in windows firewall AND/OR if you are on the INTERNET you'll probably need to set up port forwarding on your local router so that the database requests to your laptop from the "internet" get forwarded from your router to your local subnet (network).
So for example mySQL uses port 3306 (I think.. memory?) so you'd need a port forward in your router that forwards incoming 3306 requests to your laptop IP address, mac address, or machine name (better to use machine or mac).

Currently we have an old application that was written with VB 6. The application accesses SQL server and network share over a local network.
The management wants to make it work over the internet (i.e. someone can install the application locally on their own computer, but still somehow connects to a database/network share that we host. Of course, they want minimal change to the current application.
Exactly what you can do there? I know you can access SQL server over the internet, but is it secure if you use SSL encryption? Also what would be the easiest solution to access a network share?
Thanks
So I have a network setup with a Windows Server 2003 machine running as the Domain Controller. All of the domain users are physically connected over Ethernet except for one which due to it's location requires being connected over our Wifi (which until now hasn't had any domain users). The PC is running Windows XP SP3 and was successfully able to join the domain, but it cannot see any other computers in the domain. Also, when looking in the Active Directory on the server, it also does not show the computer.
I tried unjoining and rejoining the domain but it didn't resolve the issue. I also tried connected the computer over a different AP but again it didn't resolve the issue. After researching online I was only able to come up with information regarding how routers will sometimes interfere with the server's DHCP settings which can cause this issue, but I don't believe this would be relevant as the devices are setup as access points and not routers.
Any ideas?
Not an answer, but a troubleshooting idea. Run 'ipconfig /all' from commandline on this machine and a LAN connected machine and compare. Specifically compare DNS settings, and the IP addresses to make sure they are in the same range.
