Thank you. I didn't realize that when you set up a remote repository, it is
just a folder. I thought the fact that I had it setup as a website, was going
to handle what I needed.
It wasn't until your email that I realized I had to use some type of client. I
installed Bonobo as the remote repository and bam it worked!
You are right that the info on Windows is a bit sparse. I learned a lot and
want to thank you again.

This might create a _repository_, but it's not going to set up any Git hosting
processing for it. You might be able to clone using the fallback to the "dumb"
HTTP protocol (though I doubt it, with the steps you've shown) , but you won't
be able to push.
You need handlers for git-http-backend which handle info/refs and other
requests that are related to the Git HTTP wire protocol.[1]
Documentation for setting up Git's HTTP protocol via Apache are pretty easy to
find[2], but IIS instructions are a bit more sparse. I don't know of any good
ones off the top of my head. But that's your issue; your IIS setup isn't really
a valid Git remote; it's just a Git repository with contents visible via HTTP.
