Hosting a website through LAN using IIS

[steppinthrax]

I have an internal site I created on my computer. It's in ASP and I can view it from my computer by typing in the browser the domain of my computer and the folder name that's in InetPub. However, I want to show this website to someone on another computer. How do I configure IIS so that people on my LAN can see my site (Considering all firewall and other network security is not the issue).

Have you set it to serve pages from that directory in the web services settings?

When I right click my site within IIS and select properties I have four tabs


Directory
Documents
Directory Secuirty
HTTP Headers
Custom Errors
ASP.NET


I've fiddled with all and I guess I'm not too familure with IIS.

Sounds like you're not viewing it through IIS at all, but rather pulling up the files locally. I take it there is no actual ASP content (code) in those pages?

Just starting simple, what happens if someone trys to pull up your computer by name/ip across the network (http://yourcomputer)?

Yes

It's a fourm designed in ASP. Regular ASP not ASP.NET

When I try http://computername or http://ip address I get nothing.

I'm thinking this is something I need to specify in IIS

Got it fixed.

I had windows firewall enabled. I just put in an exception for port 80 HTTP. It immdiatley worked. These are things that I would imagine should be in the knowledge base of setting up IIS.
