Hi Karl,
Thank you for your reply. My purpose of my web server is to allow home automation, streaming video, and share pics with friends. So I don't expect more than a couple of concurrent sessions. My ISP gasped when I told them I am using IIS. The tech recommends using Apache. But I'm afraid to load it on my WinXP pro machine as I don't know how it may affect my machine.
Thanks, John
