    Thank you for the very helpful tutorial.
    Following your instructions, I installed IIS and then added a virtual directory with a folder XYZ. It appears in DESKTOP\Sites\Default Web Site\XYZ. My IP Address is 98.218.20.24
    Can I access XYZ from the outside, ie which URL should be used (forgetting about DNS) ?
    Thanks in advance

    These instructions are for Windows 7 Home? I didn’t think that IIS Server is available for Microsoft Windows 7 Home edition. Thanks.
