I have a win xp box with IIS 5.1. I did a clean install of VWD express 2005 including ASP.Net Framework 2.0 and SQL Server Express. I then installed the DNN 4.0.3 Starterkit software. I then followed procedure of installing the template on IIS under Inetpub/wwwroot/sitename. I created the SQL database under my username instance of SQL Express and modified web.config file for the database name accordingly. I then did the build of the site which installed successfully. I can browse to the site through VWD by selecting the main default.aspx file, right clicking and opening in browser. When I do this, it opens an instance of localhost with a specific port number (such as ":1146")and takes me to the home page and works fine as long as VWD is running. But I can't browse to it from another computer on my internal network and can't browse to it on the host computer with VWD closed or even without the specified port (ie: http://localhost/dnnwebsite) really. This is important because I want it accessible to my entire internal network. It will eventually go into production on a Win 2003 Server box but I want the flexibility to develop in XP. Any VWD/Starterkit gurus out there who can set me straight?

You don't have something configure correctly.  When using  VWD, you are accessing the site thru the proxy server built into VWD not IIS.   I would check your IIS configuration and above all, make sure it is running and you have your virtual directory configured correctly.
