First check IIS is running. Type netstat -an | more
you will find something like 0.0.0.0:80 ... it shows IIS is listening for requests. If you only see your internal IP address but not 0.0.0.0, then you should be able to point your browser to your IP address, but IIS is not listening on all IP addresses.

Further IIS hasn't started its WWW server, that will also be problem. You don't have a default.htm in the location that the WWW service of IIS thinks is the Document Root, IIS cannot delivera page. Last check the WWW service is listening on all appropriate ports and that the files and folders that WWW service have the proper permissions to be rendered.
