I need some help with expertise in IIS getting front page extensions to work

[BG]

I am developing a website using microsoft front page.

I am using a form on the website that requires microsoft front page
extensions.

I am running a server at my home to test the website out (before publishing
it to the real server) that runs microsoft windowsxp.

I am having one hell of a time getting front page extensions
installed/configured to test out pages that use forms.

I am willing to pay for help. I can pay by check or paypal (whichever is
most convenient).

Anyone that knows how to setup the IIS webserver on windows xp that would be
willing to help - please contact me at
(e-mail address removed)

Thanks,
Bob

You have to be able to publish directly to the server.

The example I gave you about using http://localhost was for publishing a disk-based web located on
the same machine as the server to the server. If this is the case, then you can try
http://localhost:1600 or http://127.0.0.1:1600

Now if you are trying to publish from a different machine to the server, then you will need to use
the server IP Address plus the port number, i.e., http://192.192.192.192:1600 (change the 192... to
your IP address.)

You will not be able to publish to a domain name that is being re-directed to your machine.

The FP extensions must be configured to support Port 1600, as the default is Port 80. For help with
this, I would suggest trying the appropriate MS IIS newsgroup and/or Windows newsgroup.
