only providers a REAL XP CD/DVD, but slipstreams the drivers into it for the
convenience of their purchasers.
Other than drivers, the OS is box-stock.
Surprised that people are still naive enough to be spouting these incorrect
urban legends.

I hate to knock PC manufacturers and ISP's; but (first) with Dell, they
tend
to change up their Operating systems to be compatible with their hardware,
software, and drivers. This may be something they changed to favour their
own
copy of MCE; tinkering with IIS files, or removing the ones needed to
complete the installation.
(Second) - if you're planning on running a web site using IIS; comcast
will
put a stop to that rather quickly, unless you pay that extra to them to
let
you run a web site. It won't matter if you use a port redirect, either;
they
monitor all their traffic from customers.
They shut me down within a month. You may want to read their terms and
conditions, rules and regulations, and anything else you can find on their
internet access about this. It may have changed since I've tried it; but I
find that doubful - Money talks.

Hello - Yes, I know the routine to install optional Windows
components. My problem is that the Windows Components Wizard hangs at
"Status: Installing Internet Information Services..." with the
progress bar about 3/4 of the way done.
I know this is hard to diagnose via e-mail... what are my support
options to getting this problem fixed? I have a Dell computer, but not
sure if they would be able to help with this one (and I really don't
want to pay $84 for incident support!)

IS can be installed in Media Center,infact IIS 5.1 has already been
there-it's similar as in XP Professional.
Here are the step by step instructions:-
Open Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Add/Remove Windows
Components>Select Internet Information Services (IIS) from the list>
Next>Finish to complete the setup.

I tried to install Internet Info Server on my MCE computer but it only
partially installs and then stops.I'm assuming MCE works with IIS
because it
is included on the installation disk - correct? What steps can I take
to
instal IIS correctly?
