Using IIS Express to host a website (temporarily)

By default IIS Express serves only localhost requests. To serve external requests edit applicationhost.config file (located in %userprofile%\documents\iisexpress\config\) and change localhost to '*' or your machine name. (remember for non-localhost binding you must be running as administrator or set URL acl as an administrator and then run iisexpress as non-administrator)
