well I am connected using cable modem, WINXP PRO with IIS 5.1, and
FRONTPAGE2002
. I am not acctually hoping to get a site that any and all can access (it
would be down quite often, seing that I shut down while not using my PC)
what Id like is for friends and fam to have access for example (or me from
work and school) it is all about learning.
anyways Im fine with just the one website (i will be the onlyone designing
one) and even limiting to 5 users is no prob.
as for IP would i need their IP for them to have access if I ever get the
site built? I am greatful for your help doug.
