I am such a home web server host, with a connection similar to yours
with the frequency of IP address changes. I use EasyPHP (an Apache
bundle, http://www.easyphp.org/) rather than ISS, as it's ALOT more
flexible (also easier to set up than Apache is normally outside of the
bundle, and it was easier for me to set up than ISS).
If people can't access you from the outside, it could be that you
haven't set up your router properly
(http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm
can help you forward ports, or your router's documentation) or it could
be that your ISP is blocking access to port 80 to prevent you from
hosting a web server. In this case it's a bit tricky, you have to find
out how to configure your web server program to serve on a different
port, I don't know how to do that for ISS, but for Apache it's in
conf/httpd.conf where you see a line like "Listen 192.168.0.2:80" you
change ":80" to, for example, ":8080". Then it will listen on port 8080
instead of 80, to access the web server on this port you have to add
:8080 at the end of the IP address or domain name when you type in the
address to the site, so for example http://yoursite.com:8080 or
http://1.1.1.1:8080. You'll also have to configure the router to
forward port 8080 instead of 80.
