I have 2 websites hosted on an IIS 7 server. I can browse (in Internet Explorer) to the 'Default Web Site' at http://localhost but I want to be able to do the same thing with the other website.

From what I can figure I think I need to edit the bindings for my website but I don't want to mess with it until I get some advice.
