View Pages in IIS on workgroup

I create pages on my machine (development), and host them in my local IIS.

Did this before in a domain network, and a user just have to type in http://MyMachine/MyPages/MyPage.aspx to be able to view my pages anywhere on the network.

However, at this company we use a normal workgroup (yeah, yeah, I will change that when I have time), and it seems things work different, as another user on the "network" cannot view my pages.

Any advice / ideas?Are you sharing the files on a workstation or hosting the IIS service pages on a system with the framework installed?
Are you sharing the files on a workstation or hosting the IIS service pages on a system with the framework installed?

I started a new VS ASP.Net Project, so VS created a virtual directory for my asp.net application. So I guess my answer would be the latter, as I did not manually went and shared anything.

Tried to "web share" the folder, but got error that a share by that alias allready exists.
Also tried to share the folder (in the wwwroot folder) like you share a normal folder, but user's can still not access the page.
Did you give the right permissions to the web share, also did you make sure your Windows Firewall is allowing requests over Port 80?
OK, Will check that first thing in the morning.
Glad to know at least it is possible.
Dankie my maat!
