Hot to move from disk-based to IIs on computer

[Mike Jacoubowsky]

I'm having difficulty figuring out how to change the version of my website
on my laptop from disk-based to IIs. Presently, I have to do all of my
editing on-line (my ISP has FP server extensions), but I'd like to do the
editing on my laptop (or other local) computer, and then just publish the
changes.

I've installed IIs, and tried to publish to a "Front Page or Sharepoint"
location, but can't seem to do that on the laptop. Obviously I don't quite
get it.

Thanks for any help-

The web site address for IIS is localhost.
ie: http://localhost/webfoldername

Steve: Thanks greatly; I'm sure that info is terribly obvious, but I just
didn't "get it" for quite some time. You saved a fair amount of hair
pulling. Hope you have a great weekend!

Thanks again-

Glad to help.
You can also use the computer "name" or logged on users name.
For me it is http://steve/webfoldername

To find out what the actual computer name or "username" is, click Start > Run and enter:
%userprofile%
and click OK

The name that shows for "namehere" after C:\Documents and Settings\namehere is the one
that will work.

In general, that will not work.
It must be
http://localhost/webfoldername
http://127.0.0.1/webfoldername
http://computername/webfoldername

http://username/webfoldername will only work if username is the same as
computername

Once I named my machine localhost...that wasn't a good idea.
