"404 - File not found" for Default .aspx on IIS 7.5

I am trying to set up a website on my new Windows 7 Home Premium machine.  I created a Virtual Directoy and added Default.aspx to the default documents.  I have a simple default page in the directory.  When I try to navigate to the site from a client pc I get "404 - file or directoy not found"  but it works on the serve pc via localhost.  Also, when I remove default.aspx from the defualt documents and navigate, I see the file listed but get the same error when I click on it.  For some reason I can not get the Default.aspx page to run.  I am sure this is something simple because I have done the same thing on several XP machines and had not problems.

did you check the Security tab in 'Edit permissions ...' of the newly created virtual directory?

Do I have to add a specific user?  I don't remember having to do that on my XP Machines.

Thanks for the help.  It was suggestion 2.  Didn't realize I failed to install the ASP items when I installed IIS.
