When I run my ASP.Net project, I see in the URL http://localhost:1974. But if I change it to 192.168.1.1:1974, it not found in both my PC and other PCs in the same LAN. In this case, could we configure it to allow this kind of request?

No: you'd need to install and run iis and create your web site so that it runs from within iis. Your address might then be http:\\localhost\name_of_site\. To access from other pcs you'd need to figure out what the ip address of your pc is - perhaps it is 192.168.1.1 (though that is usually the router address - the pc might be 192.168.1.35 or similar). If you're on a lan you may have a name for your pc in which case you could access the site as http:\\name_of_pc\name_of_site\. The address you're seeing above is only good whilst VS is running the internal web server.
