Testing my website locally ?

Hi all.
I have just joined the board in the hope of resolving a problem that has plagued me for over a week now !
I have been playing around with with my old Website and IIS 6 again just to see if I can view my website on my local network (may eventually host it ussing Dynamic DNS once I get that lurvly HP MediaSmart Server) and although it looks like I have it all set up correctly in IIS I cannot view the site using the localhost in the web browser.

Any sites that may offer baby-steps for this. I've not set up a website for two years now and i've either completly lost it or there is just one thing i've not set correctly that is completly throwing me off !!

Cheers,
Mitch....

Can you view it using the loopback IP (127.0.0.1)?

Cheers for the replies guys.

I don't think it is Firewalled. I mean it should not be. I am using a DLink DI-624 router and I have opened/Forwarded port 80 so unless there is other settings I have missed that I do not know about please advise.
I also checked Windows Firewall too so the problem should not be from theer either.
I am not sure about loopback, I did try to access the site using the Internal IP of the machine the Site/IIS sits on and no joy there either.

This really has me stumped so any help would be great !

Thanks again,
Mitch...
