Upon fresh installation of my Windows 7 box, I tried to install IIS so I can play with ASP.NET web and web setup project. One problem I encountered after the installation is, although I can access it locally via localhost or the IP Address (192.168.1.32, ie), I can't access it from my other boxes. I had 2 machines and other VMWare installed so I wanted to see from outside of the machine which IIS is installed. Failed miserably.
Not quite though. The simple solution is just to enable the port 80 on my Firewall. For Windows 7 it's in the Control Panel->System and Security->Windows Firewall and clicking the "Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall". Click the Change settings and check "World Wide Web Services (HTTP)". That's it, brilliant! :)
