Two tests to see if your HTTP server is working:

1) Make a simple asp file such as:

<%@language="VBScript"%>
<%="Hello"%>

Put that in a file called hello.asp and put that in C:\Intetpub\wwwroot.

Then see if this works:

http://localhost/hello.asp

2) To test for ASP.NET you must install the .NET Framework 1.1 and then in the command prompt navigate to:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 and then type this:

aspnet_regiis -i

That should do all that is necessary:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cptools/html/cpgrfASPNETIISRegistrationToolAspnet_regiisexe.asp

Then make this file:

<%@language="VB"%>
<%
HelloWorld.InnerText = "Hello World!"
%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello World!</title>
</head>
<body style="background-color: #FFFFFF;">
<p id="HelloWorld" runat="server"></p>
</body>
</html>

Save it as hello.aspx and put it in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot.

Then see if this works:

http://localhost/hello.aspx

If you have no issues then your server is ready to go. You only need be sure your ISP is not blocking port 80 on you. A common thing this day and age.
