IIS on Local Network

Can anyone help a non-network person set up a IIS over a LAN?

I've got IIS 5 set up as a web server on my local Win2000 PC to develop some
web pages written in ASP. I want to allow others using our LAN to see this
website and possibly other external users to see the site via the internet.

Can anyone help with some advice or pointers on how to make ths work?

Hello,

All you actually need to do is open port 80 on the webserver (if it is
blocked), and/or your corporate firewall. If you want to use a domain name,
you also need to register one, and point the domain name to the correct
machine (the registrar will help you with this if you do not know how to
do).

On a client, open the browser and browse to:

http://{Web_Server_Name}/

If your web server system name was "Mortimer" your web site would be
at:

http://mortimer/
