Win 2000 Pro and IIS limitations

Greetings

SSI's work on W2K Pro.

Here are some limitations of IIS on W2K:

You can't create more than one Web site.

You're limited to 10 simultaneous connections. Because a request to download
a page can require multiple TCP sessions, this limitation actually
translates to 40 connections.

The Operators tab is unavailable. The Operators tab lets you specify which
groups or users can administer a Web site. Because Win2K Pro isn't a server
and doesn't support multiple Web sites, this features is unnecessary.

You can't limit access based on IP address or domain name.

On the Performance tab, you can't enable bandwidth throttling or process
throttling. Therefore, you can't select the Enforce limits check box.

Browser-based administration is unavailable because IIS 5.0 under Win2K Pro
doesn't support the use of multiple virtual Web servers. A virtual web site
is required to support the browser-based administrative tools.

Hope this helps
Albatross Singh

Sorry, I should have mentioned the specific problem I was having.

I created my test file with the name index.shtml in order to comply with the
naming convention but I can't get the page to display at all. I get

HTTP 403.1 Forbidden: Execute Access Forbidden
Internet Information Services

when I try to access the html page. I noticed that index.shtml was not in
the list of default documents so i added it but that didn't work either.

I know I have access to that folder since I can type in spefic html pages
and they come up but as soon as I type in an shtml page I get the above
error.

Thanks

Richard

Ignore my last post. I found the problem. The that folder did not have
script execute permissions turned on.

Thanks
