I am new to IIS and ASP.NET programming.

I want to develop and test what I develop (thats all) on my XP-Prof machine. I have three machines connected (IMac, ME, and XP-prof)

My first ASP.Net program (following directions in a text book I have) was placed properly in the c:\Inetpub\wwwroot directory in a new folder with the project name.

But, when going to another attached machine and accessing the web site (using a browser and the XP machines IP address, all I could access were default file names in wwwroot. I couldn't get to the project. So then I started messing with the IIS properties. Now I cannot get to or even create any new ASP.Net Web applications. The error I get (from the IDE when I try to create a new ASP.Net project) is:
The default Web access mode for this project is set to file share, but the project folder at 'http://localhost/LeeTest1' cannot be opened with the path 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\LeeTest1'. The error returned was:

Unable to create Web project "LeeTest1". The file path 'c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\LeeTest1 does not correspont to the URL 'http://localhost/LeeTest1'. The two need to map to the same server location. HTTP Error 404: Object Not Found.

Is these a document someplace that will tell me what the properties for IIS should be so I can start 'messing around' with ASP.NET development? Or, is there something mess up with the settings in the VS.NET? Please HELP.
