I use PWS (Personal Web Server, scaled down IIS), since I'm running
NTWS, to publish some UNIX generated documents on our intranet. 

I first created a Samba share for the directory in which the generated
documents reside. Then in PWS I created a 'virtual directory' which
points to the Samba share (e.g. create share \\Unix\www, then create
virtual directory '/unixweb', which is an alias for \\Unix\www). 

Maybe you've already tried this or there is some other reason you want
to move the documents to the server, but, this works great for me.
