I need to set up a server that supports ASP.NET. I will have it in my
home
and run on and off for demo projects. The problem is that I don't have
then money to by Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008. I have tried
to install IIS but that doesn't help me at all.

For XP, you need XP Pro to use IIS easily.

Doesn't help me I have tried. Using XP Pro. Can it have some thing to do
with the fact that I'm used a very old install CD for XP. Doens't even
include SP1. But of course I have installed SP1, SP2, IE7 and all available
updates. But when I add IIS to the system it asks for the XP Install CD that
I bought 2001. Doesn't help running WIndows Update either. Do I need a newer
XP Pro install CD? I do have the license.


For Vista, I have no idea what edition you need, but I'm guessing the
lesser editions don't make managing IIS very easy.

Don't use Vista on my machines since it doesn't support good Audio devices
or Cubase (yet).


I have tried Apache and the Mono projects tools which also fails. Tried
Apache on both Linux and Windows but both setups fails to support
ASP.NET.

Apache, itself, can't run ASP.net

Mono Project is great, but, really, why bother with ASP.net if you want to
go the Open Source Route? ;0)

Have to create some ASP.NET pages for referens purpose only.

ASP.NET webpages are hot where I live and I need assignments. It's not up to
me it's up to my clients.


Can some one tell me how to set up a Webserver that supports ASP.NET. Do
I really need to install Windows 200x to be able to access ASP.NET.

For a 'real' server, then, yea, that's why MS sells Windows Server
Operating system. ;0)

Maybe that's why so many use Linux as Webservers?


That said, XP Pro should work for you. Let us know which OS you *are*
running and we can be of more help.

XP Pro. The machine came with XP Home but I think I reinstalled using XP Pro
last fall. Any how the Add/Remoev Programs showed that I can add ISS.

How do I access and edit IIS. Can I access ISS from outside a firewall
supposing I open port 80 on the firewall D-Link-604. Sure IIS is installed
and updated with ´.NET 1.1 but what about .NET 2.0? isn't that the latest
version. And where the *#¤* is it I don't see it on my Desktop, Control
Panel, Program Menu or any where.
