Here’s another question for all u networking people …

Right now, i’m running a home network with 2 computers (both WinXP boxes) connected with a router. On machine 1 i have IIS installed and host my own personal website. When i browse [http://localhost/](http://localhost/), i get to see my own website, but if i were on machine 2 and wanted to see my website, is it possible?

browsing [http://localhost/](http://localhost/) from there will not work since IIS is not on that machine … is there anyway to view it on machine 2 ?
