Honestly I have never seen anybody configure web2py with windows server and it may not be trivial (except in proxy mode) because it requires this:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/pyisapie My guess is that you do not have pyisapie and you are running both the built in web2py web server on 127.0.0.1 and IIS on localhost:80. If you want to expose web2py to your public network the easiest way is NOT to use IIS and just use the built-in server. Instead of 0.0.0.0 try using your actual IP address.
