Default XP IIS works locally but not remotely! :-(

Hi folks,
I set up IIS on an XP-Pro box and the web site works fine when connecting
locally on the box using its own browser, but the connection times out when
trying to connect to the web page from any other box. What's up with that???
I can ping it by either its IP address or even just its netbios name...but I
sure can't get to it's web page. I'm using just the default settings. What am
I missing???

Thank you,
Ed

Goto Control Pannel > Administrative Tools > Internet Information
Service

Set website Access method as the IP address or All Unassigned insted of
localhost or 127.0.0.1

In security tab , enable accout access by anonymous insted of windows
Authentication

if it still isnt working then check firewall settings
