IIS with localhost

Hi,
If I start using IIS service on my machine, would my machine be exposed to
intruders from the outside world? would that be a good idea to disconnect
the cable modem everytime I start the server?

I want to test my app locally and safely within my own "virtual" network but
don't want to disconnect and re-connect the network everytime I do so...

Thanks
Jack
