How to approach making a VB6 mini web server?

I want to add what is in effect a small "web server" within my existing VB6 app so that anyone on my LAN with an IE5 browser can access data that is held in a large string array in my application that is always running (counting things going in and out).
Eg they would select an address from their favourites and get a small dialog box (like a form in Frontpage)into which they would enter the number of the array and get back a page containing the contents of that array.
What do you think is the best way?
I presume I would have to use Winsock but how would I configure it and use IE6?
I tried to use an echo server example but I cant get it to respond from IE6.
