VWD Express 2005 asp.net server vs IIS

I am using Visual Web Developer Express 2005 to create some simple web
applications on a local network. I would like IIS to fire instead of
asp.net development server so I can acheive the following:
Web application on PC 192.168.2.4
Want to access from PC 192.168.2.5 via internet explorer
I know I can access it if IIS is running. Can I install and run IIS
instead of asp.net development server without making changes to my
VWD?
ThanksYes.
Open IIS Manager and right click on default web site. Choose New >> Virtual
Directory. Create a directory that points at the directory you have your
file based web in. You can now hit it at http://localhost/{directoryName}
Others can hit at http://{machineName}/{directoryName}.
You can still edit as a file based web, but you can also edit as an IIS
site.
NOTE: This is true of ASP.NET 2.0, not an other version.

To specify the Web server for an already-created Web site,
open your local website with VWD and, in the Solution Explorer,
right-click the name of the Web site for which you want
to specify a Web server, and then click Property Pages.
In the Property Pages dialog box, click the Start Options tab.
Under Server, *do not* click "Use custom server".
Instead, write the path to the IIS server which hosts your app.

I know this is a goofy question, but what is the typical path for the IIS
server on a Windows XP machine? I know it's in the inetpub/wwwroot folder
but I beleive I am writing the path incorrectly.

re:

http://localhost/
or
http://yourmachinename/
or
http://YourLocalIPAddress/ ( typically 10.0.0.x or any of several other loca
l IP schemes )
re:

The inetpub\wwwroot folder is where the root application's files are located
.
