What is easiest no fail way to publish asp.net app?

Sorry a bit of an open ended question but I am having issues deploying an asp.net report project and any solution to get the site up is fine.

I am running Win7/SQL 2008 and want to publish a asp.net report site that I created in VS 2008. Website launches when I run in debug in Visual studio but I want to publish the site so that it can be seen on the LAN.

I published the files off to a folder and started up the IIS manager and added a new site and pointed to that folder. Set the permission on the folder to share to everyone.

However when I go to the DNS name I put in for the website it does not launch. Any ideas on this?

I see websites out there talking about a web sharing tab on the folder properties but I do not see that when I go to folders. Why might that be?

Another avenue I have not pursued yet is publishing directly to a website. Has anyone tried that? Is that better or worse than publishing to filesystem?

Get login prompt for SQL reporting services deployment.

I really just want to deploy a report.

I have -set my Web Service URL to be "ReportServer"

-I have tried several different service accounts.

-tried many different passwords for this dialog (but my understanding is if all is well you will not see this dialog)

What else do I need to try? What could I be doing wrong?

Can I run 64-bit VM guests on a 32-bit host?

If I have a physical PC with 32 bit can I launch a VM that is 64 bit? What virtual machine software (Virtual PC or VirtualBox or other) would allow this?

I read out there that VMware may support this but I am looking for something Open source or free.

Host would preferably be a Windows host but could be Linux. Guest needs to be Windows.

Thanks
