- by Motivated Student
Background
I have a broadband connection. The fiber optic cable running from outside to my building is connected to a converter unit. The output of the converter is connected to a router. The router also provides 8 LAN ports to which the computers are connected.
Shortly speaking, all computers are interconnected in a workgroup as opposed to a domain.
My computer hosts an IIS web server using a private or local domain name www.mydomain.local.
I has added 127.0.0.1 www.mydomain.local to the hosts file in the server C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc so I can browse the site from within the server. So far so good.

Note: Again, I am a newbie. I have no idea what I should do next.
