Making websites hosted on localhost available to all on network

Question

I have a website hosted in IIS on my local PC

If I go to http://localhost or http://192.168.1.1 my site comes up.

But what must I do to let other users on our network to see my site?

I am using Windows 7.......

You can either allow them to connect to your machine using the http://192.168.1.1 address or you can create a name that maps to 192.168.1.1. How you create the name depends on what infrastructure you have. If you have a local DNS server then add the name pointing to 192.168.1.1 into that. Failing that you could add the name to the hosts file on you machines.

Open port 80 on firewall? – LazyOne Aug 26 '11 at 11:41
check that you have port 80 on your firewall open – user9517 Aug 26 '11 at 11:41

Check that Windows Firewall allows external connections from local IP addresses on your network to port 80. Opening ports on this page explains how to do that.
