Windows – How to configure IIS on the PC so that other machines can access it

iis-7windows 7

I have a machine running Windows 7 Home Premium x64.

IIS7 is up and running; I can navigate to localhost:80 and the spiffy IIS7 welcome screen appears.

When I try this on any of my other machines, the request times out. And, yes, I can successfully ping the IIS7 host machine from the other machines.

I've tried looking over the IIS7 documentation, and the answer is probably there but I can't find it.

Or is it maybe something to do with Windows 7 security?

Thanks.

Perhaps it's the Windows Firewall (or a 3rd party one) blocking that traffic...
