I found the solution! I had to go in and manually configure the LAN Settings -(Network Settings-Change Settings-Advanced-Change Settings, which brings you to Services) and checking "web server" and inputting my specific IP. Then I changed 127.0.0.1 to my IP in the IIS Site Manager as well, and changed the IP of http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm to include my IP instead as well.
Installing IIS and CF Server for some reason did not automatically recoginize and configure this connection. I'm incuding these details just in case another newbie has the same problem... Thanks very much for your help everybody, your suggestions got me started on the road to discovery!
