Have you tried a link using localhost,
like http://localhost/ and then append
the rest of the path to that? That's
what I use for local sites. It then will
run the site automatically in the Intranet
Zone. BTW, you can always add non
https sites to the trusted zone, if you
toggle the https check box there, but
you shouldn't have to do that for this.

You also need to make sure that
IIS is installed and running on that
computer. It's in Add/Remove
programs, Windows Components,
and that the service is started. Try
running: IISReset /Restart
