  iis for dummies? Reply Contact    hi - i just discovered iis today and am having an awful time with it- i seem to have set up a default page and if i select browse from the iis manager "http://localhost/test/" pops up - so ive got that far but i dont get HOW people are suppose to connect to the page   ?? i typed my ip in a broswer but nothing happens - just connection timed out sorry - im pretty dumb about this - all i want to do is make a page on my pc that someone can connect to and browse (specified) files on my pc...  thanks for any tips
