I know this whole thing is very odd I am on the phone with Windows XP Pro
support and now they say I need to open another case with the IIS support
group for $245 that is not good. First I just spent $200 to upgrade to XP
Pro which IIS 5.1 is suppose to be supported I think they are trying to
transfer me to the IIS group at no charge now

I hope so....

Thanks

Tom
