I have Windows XP Home Edition SP2 and I need to do Web Development. I want
to know if anyone has XP Pro running IIS and how is it working?

I have SQL 2000 Developer and Frontpage 2003 with asp pages I developed.

I tried to install IIS on the home edition it installed but I cannot connect
to http://localhost

I also tried apache and it does not support asp. And frankly I would rather
use IIS since I know how to use it and I would rather not learn how to get
apache to work.

Thanks

Tom

IIS does not install or run on Home Edition.

The only real complication with XP Prof is that you can only have one
root site named at a time, but you can have many virtual sites off the
root - and then the limit with connections.
