David:
You have everything you need except for a webserver. You can use the
Microsoft Cassini Web Server:
http://www.asp.net/Projects/Cassini/Download/Default.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=1

or you can attempt to follow:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.general/msg/97df7903d9b477d8

but that isn't supported <insert disclaimer here> sorta thing...

Web Matrix will allow you to develop ASP.NET on XP Home:

Neat,
Didn't know web matrix had it's own built-in webserver (looking at the FAQ i
see it does).
