there few things you'll need make local application visible on network. i'm assuming want app running on http://foobar/myapp foobar name of machine

here need do:

1. add url reservation machine allow iis serve content on url http://foobar/myapp

2. create inbound rule in windows firewall allow incoming connections on port 80

you can find exact commands need run on scott hanselman's excellent blog post. of course, he's focusing on getting ssl work iis express, has enough pointers going, too.
