Accessing local IIS site from my Android device (HTC Desire HD)

I am making a website. I'm using IIS7 on a Windows 7 Professional machine. Is there a way I can acces that local site from HTC Desire HD (Android 2.2)?

I have tried connecting my phone through the internet via the internet passthrough option that is available on Desire HD. I can connect through my PC, but not to my local site.

I have also tried making an inbound rule in my firewall on port 80 but to no avail. (I saw someone mention this somewhere)

I would appreciate some help on this one.

The site is currently running on your local network? If so, it's probably available at localhost/ or your local IP, correct?

If it's the only site running on that server/port combination, you can enable your firewall for that port, enable WiFi on your phone and just go to the computer's LAN IP which should bring up the site.

If this isn't specific enough, let me know in the comments.
