DougK94 04-23-2002, 05:39 PM Try dns2go (http://dns2go.deerfield.com/) Also you might take a look at dslwebserver (http://dslwebserver.com/) derek.bodner 04-23-2002, 06:58 PM um....i thought IIS only came with windows2000 server, advanced server and datacenter? richy 04-23-2002, 07:30 PM i thought it only installed by default on the others, i think it comes with pro as well. never tried as ive only ever used it on the server version. gnorthey00 04-23-2002, 07:37 PM Do a search on this forum, I see this topic once in a while and ther ought to be a lot of useful information. hotice007 04-23-2002, 07:38 PM Windows 2000 Pro comes with limited IIS5 (one website), Windows 2000 Server comes with full blown IIS5 (unlimted websites). To host a domain on your computer, make a "ADDRESS" record to your computer's IP, then in IIS, create a host header of your domain. That's it. yhergen 04-23-2002, 10:54 PM Thanks for the tip ... just one thing how do I go about making an "ADDRESS" record for my IP address? I've got the HTTP Header thing worked out hotice007 04-23-2002, 10:56 PM you can do that by loging in to your domain control panel from where you registered your domain. |
