Hi there. So, I took the plunge and upgraded to Windows 7 and got IIS installed. So far so good. I've set up a web site in IIS to use for this purpose, but the tricky part has been getting it to display through a browser. When we user our remote servers, we assign a site to an IP and add one or more host headers so that requests through a browser will resolve correctly. But, that doesn't seem to be the right scenario with a locally deployed site. I'm searching online but if anyone can suggest how best to configure a local site in IIS, that would certainly be appreciated.
