Hi,

I'm having a problem with IIS in that I can't get it to feed a web page to
my browser. A few points: I'm using XP Pro SP1, I installed IIS from with
control panels. I'm not really sure where the source file should be now
that I've enabled IIS though so this is problem 1. I see mention in various
articles about creating a virtual drive with my desired web pages in it.
I'm not sure if this applies to XP as the articles were on W2K. Plus I see
no way to create a virtual drive. When I do try to open a page with the
directory using the path http://web/default I get the "cannot find server"
message. Web is my folder on C: with my html pages in it.

If I look in the Services area of Computer Management I do see a IIS ADmin
entry which is "Started". Under Properties for this I have the Log On tab
set to Local System account with the Allow service to interact with desktop
checked.

I'd appreciate any thoughts on the multitude of things I'm probably doing
wrong or suggestions for guides on setting IIS up on an XP box.

Thanks,
Bob
