I believe there are three steps to making this succesful:

1) Add a dns entry or hosts entries so other machines can lookup the dev machine's ip address

2) Add a binding to applicationhost.config in %userprofile/documents/IISExpress/Config like so

netsh http add urlacl url=http://yourmachinendnsname:yourport#/ user=everyone
