title: Viewing my IIS hosted site on other machines on my network
body: <p>At home I have a simple network setup containing 2 machines.</p>
  
  <p>On one machine i have a site hosted with IIS7. Rather than the standard <code>localhost/index.htm</code> address I have added an entry in the <code>HOSTS</code> file pointing the local IP (127.0.0.1) to this domain - <code>www.mysite.dev</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I can access the site with <code>www.mysite.dev</code> with no problem.</p>
  
  <p>what I would like to do is be able to view this site from my other machine on the network.</p>
  
  <p>Initially I assumed this could be done with a URL like so 
  <code>MACHINE-NAME/www.mysite.dev</code>, but the connection always times out. But I can ping <code>MACHINE-NAME</code> without problems.</p>
  
  <p>For testing purposes I have disabled the windows firewall on both machines but to no joy.</p>
  
  <p>Like a typical web developer, my hardware/network skills are pretty poor.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone see where I'm going wrong?</p>
