How do you setup IIS on an intranet?

I'm trying to setup IIS6 (Windows 2003) on a LAN (no internet access). I need to test some websites I'm developing and don't want to always upload to the live servers. Three devices on the network, as follows:

*Cisco switch, IP: 192.168.0.3
*IIS Box, IP: 192.168.0.5
*Lappy, IP: 192.168.0.6

Since I only have to know two IPs, really, I don't care about running a DNS server. IE/FF won't connect to the IIS server, giving me a DNS ERROR error message. However, I can telnet (and get in) and ping back and forth. Web is a no-go though.

On each computer, I have no default gateway specified, and no DNS server specified (because I don't have one running).

Anyone know what the heck is going on?
