IIS question - Please help me I am sinking

[jonny]

I been using my laptop as a webserver for development. I now setup a
dedicated webserver (production server) and I got everything working
where I can open my website while working on the production server.
However, I cannot open the website from any other computer??? I typed
in the following:

http://webserver/mywebsite/default.aspx

I get back that it cannot find the server...However when I try to open
the same path while on my production server it works ok???

You are getting back that it cannoit find the server.
Have you tried "Http://webserver" ?
to see if the server is publicly addressable via HTTP?
more information, better answers.

Most likely DNS server do not resolve name "webserver" to the IP address.

You need to associate name "webserver" with IP address. When you registered
domain name you were suppose to specify your DNS servers. They are
responsible for resolving name to IP address. If you do not have DNS server
you can buy that service fairly cheap from dnsmadeeasy.com (I am using them
and it works perfect for last 3 years).
