Looking for advice

[peter]

I have created a program that collects information from a local cable
modem and now I want to present the data out via a webpage. Is there
any way to allow outside users to view this data via a normal web
browser. I want it to be an internal app solution. I don't want to
have anyone to configure IIS or anything else. Is this possible using
..net? Any direction would be much appreciated.

You are basically asking (I think) if there is a way to serve web pages w/o
using IIS. You could write your only program to listen to port 80 and sent
out the html page directly. You could use a different port as not to
conflict with any webserver already running on the machine. The user would
then type in http://MACHINENAME:PORT/ and you would then send back the
stream of HTML.

Do I understand the issue that no "outside user" isn't running the program
you wrote?

If this is an internal network, you could just write out an HTML file to a
share drive and let the user open up the file in the browser.

Not sure this helped...

Yes, I want it to be able to server out to an individual port of its
own? Any good links or hints?

I want to be able to checkup on my modems preformance from work. I
thought about using pop3 but I like the idea of the tiny webserver.
I'm going to use this project for learning purposes....

ASP.NET has the Cassani Personal Web Server Project:

The code might be useful. Or there maybe a 3rd party HTTP Server component.
