ASP Works locally not over network

I have IIS 6 and XP Pro.

I created an asp page in my C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyWeb folder and it
works fine from my pc if I type http://MyPCName/MyWeb, but not from
another pc on the network - the browser times out no error message.

How to I allow other users on the network to access the asp files on
my pc?

Do I need to share the MyWeb folder, the Inetpub folder, My Computer?

What is web sharing? I don't want external access at the time, but
maybe later.

I was able to Ping MyComputerName from another pc and got an IP
address.

I figured it out - enabled port 80 in my windows firewall.
