When I said the web server componet, I mean httpd.dll. This is the only
file I found on my CE device. Is this means that I am missing other
components for the web server? I already know the asp is not implemented on
the device. Now we are asking our OEM for help. In order to build an ASP
server application, what else do I need to be included in my device? Sorry
to ask so many questions. Since I am new to windows ce and web server,
until now I am still very confused.

Any help will be very appreciated.

Thanks.
