First question, do you firewall running on the machine that you want
to act as a webserver? If you do, you will need to disable it or poke
a hole through it for port 80. Otherwise, none of your other computers
will every be able to connect.
Next, all you need to do is to point the website in IIS to the IP
address of your computer. This can be done by going into the admin
part of IIS and selecting the website, then select the IP address (the
other one, not 127.0.0.1). Then, go to another computer, open a
browser and type in the IP address for your server.
I don't use IIS, otherwise the instructions would be a lot more precise.
