Hosting a website through LAN using IIS?

I have an internal site I created on my computer. It%26#039;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%26#039;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). When I type my domain and folder in the other computer%26#039;s browser I don%26#039;t get anything.



Hosting a website through LAN using IIS?





Hmmm... if I am on the same lan as someone and I create a virtual directory called mytestwebsite I can see it in two ways...



http://localhost/mytestwebsite



but if my computer is named computer1 I can also see it by typing



http://computer1/mytestwebsite



To see if from another computer on the lan, the localhost url does not work, but http://computer1/mytestwebsite does.
