IIS is not installed by default during installation of WinXP Pro,
but rather as an option. If you want to install IIS now, go back
and startup the WinXP Pro installation CD and select IIS installation
(you don't have to install the whole OS again).

Thanks much all. Using the XP disk i installed IIS. However when i
enter "http://localhost", i am prompted for a login and password. if
i use my xp login and password, i get an http error 500. Shouldn't
allow access by default since i am the admin
You are sort of getting out of context for a general newsgroup. You might have better luck in microsoft.public.inetserver.iis. As a general pointer, take a look at the folder security settings, you probably have Windows Authentication enabled. It's hard telling on the Error 500, depends on what the default document is set to. Create a very generic "hello world" index.html page in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot, then try to load that page (http://localhost/index.html).
