This is my First-Time Intra-Net attempt.
Yah, I'm a newbie at this... probably silly question(s)
I'm trying to setup MicroSoft Personal Web Server on my home LAN.
I've installed it.
It comes up as a service every time I start the PC it's on.
it DOES try to DIAL-IN somewhere, everytime it starts, but, I only want to run it on my tcp/ip home-LAN
I thought all I had to do, was put HTML into the c:\inetpub\wwwroot directory to allow it to SERVE the web page(s)?
From another PC on the LAN, if I put the server name into the webaddress bar, along with the whole path to the directory (http://servername/c:\inetpub\wwwroot\... and ie4 tells me it can't find the server.
Sometimes I use VSOCKS light to share my dial up connection. So, ie4 on all my machines say to use 192.168.0.2 as my PROXY server... but, that's also the machine that happens to have PWS running on it... I didn't think having the IP as proxy would hurt the operation of PWS.
There must be something very basic I'm not understanding.
I'm trying to go over basic documentation supplied with PWS.
I think I have a guide printed out somewhere, that I have to find.
IF someone can give me a BASIC step-by-step "guide" to start my internal web server...
I'd be very appreciative.
Thank you.
