Using IIS

Hi,

I recently was excited to learn and receive a DDNS address and domain. Now
I want to use it to publish a web page. I have XP and W2k with IIs
installed. How do I publish to my site? Can anyone give me any advice.

Don

When IIS is installed, the default root for the default website is
C:\inetpub\wwwRoot. In this folder, you place your files you want to be
published.

Once that is done, you can browse the files using:

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://localhost/fileName.htm" target="_blank">http://localhost/fileName.htm</a>

Assuming the file is named fileName.htm

When this works, you can open port 80, and make the website available to
others. Assuming you have a public IP of course, and that your ISP allows
you to do this. Others will then be able to browse the website using:

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://123.123.123.123/fileName.htm" target="_blank">http://123.123.123.123/fileName.htm</a>

Assuming 123.123.123.123 is the public IP.

But please understand the risks of having a public server! You need to
understand security, and how to secure the webserver.
