You just need IIS and the .net framework installed. And for Sql Server it depends the database used for the application but if (I suppose) you use Ms Sql, yes you need a SQL server..

Windows Server 2008

IIS 7.0

Windows Server 2003

IIS 6.0

Windows XP Professional

IIS 5.1

Windows 2000 Server

Windows 2000 Professional

IIS 5.0

How else could I run my asp.net website on my own computer and can I use mysql instead of mssql? If so is mysql the better option, thanks. – Chris Feb 10 '11 at 7:56
There should be some .NET libraries for connecting to MySQL. Search around a bit. A generic ODBC driver would work too. Though you might consider just using SQL Server Express Edition, which is free, and pretty suitable for small sites. – db2 Feb 11 '11 at 1:30
