Yes, you can do this from IIS.
If you are using IIS 7, then you would open IIS Manager, click on the website you are wanting to restrict and in the Feature View for that website double click on "IPv4 Address and Domain Restrictions". Under "Actions" on the right, you will select "Edit Feature Settings..." and select "Deny" from the "Access for unspecified clients" drop down list, then click "OK". Then click on "Add Allow Entry..." from the Actions list on the right and make all you exception for address to allow access to your website.

The easiest way to do this would be to use your Windows Firewall, but only if you know know exactly what subnets you will be needing access from.
.0.0/255.2 55.0.0" into the Custom list box.
1. Go to: Control Panel -> Windows Firewall.
2. From there Click "Turn Windows Firewall on or off" (accept the UAC message).
3. Now make sure the "On (recommended)" button is selected on the "General" tab.
4. Next, go to the "Exceptions" tab and click on "Add Port...".
5. In the "Name" box, type: "HTTP". In the "Port number" box, type: "80".
6. Next click on the "Change scope..." button.
7. If you only need access from your own subnet, then select the "My network (subnet) only" option, other wise select "Custom list" and enter in the IPs/subnet you want to access your webserver. If you want to access it from two subnets, for example 10.1.x.x and 10.2.x.x, then you would enter "10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0,10.2
I hope this helps.
