I've been in that situation before: web app is converted to psudo
desktop app by means of embedding an IE element on a local only
asp/asp.net server. I believe it's commonly done through something
called Microsoft cassini.
If it's that, and I'm gonna guess it is, you've got a chore infront of you.
Cassini only allows local connections to the web app, so you'll need
to port scan locally, find the port, and see if you can use ie to
browse to the app. If you can, you're in luck, and a simple mod to
your watir scripts will work. If not, you need to bug your developers
to help you.
I've never seen, or heard of, a successful attempt to automate an
embedded ie object with watir.
Good luck.
