First off, make sure your firewall allows access through port 80. Then, check if your IIS allows access from outside IP's. I can help more if you provide this:

  1. Your OS (XP, Windows 7, etc)

  2. the local link to your app. Is there a port number needed to access the app?

LaterEdit: Ok, then you need to do this: enter image description here

Now, your app will be served by IIS on port 80 (default). Check your firewall to allow traffic through this port.

If you IIS is set for another port, then use that one. Checking the port in IIS: enter image description here

I'm going to assume that you are running the application from Visual studio which allows the localhost to run.

In order for your application to be available to other machines on the network, you have to ensure that IIS is installed on your development machine and then a website is set up for that application as well.

The application existing in IIS is what will make it accessible across your network.
