host webapp in my machine trough virtual machine

im using windows 7 ultimate in a vmware non-commercial version, i have an mvc4 asp.net app running within IIS. i manage to get my app working on localhost (vmware win 7) perfectly.

now im asking 2 questions :

1 - is it possible to browse my app from a machine connected to my local network ?

2 - is it possible to host my app trough this configuration and to make it available in internet. like http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (my public ip adress)

thank you all.

Yes to both questions, if your browser machine can hit the port the server machine is serving the app on. On WAN, you would need to make sure your router didn't block requests to the server's port, and the same for any modem/firewall that connects you to the internet at large. Also, if your public ip is not static, it may change.
