From IIS's help:
There maybe some hack you could do to allow more, but it's not really ment to be used as a web server so you might have other problems.Quote:
IIS for Windows XP Professional is designed for users developing a Web service, for home, or for office use. IIS Professional can only service 10 simultaneous client connections and does not leverage all the features of the server versions.
So what do I need to have ?
A new windows ? Windows XP Server ? (is there a Windows XP Server ?)
Yes exactly, you need windows server.
Yes there's windows XP Server, although generally it's called 2003 server. 2000 server would work as well.
Balls to server 2003. IIS 6.0 is a ballache to get around for first timers with ragards to web srvices. Get a copy of win server 2000 adnuse IIS 5.0
I would start with 1 site and use virtual folders after youve configed your DNS and DHCP controllers for this, to avoid confusion and such when ruinning multiple site, as Im sure youre aware XP and 2000 workstation can only run 1 site.
Win server 2000 sp4 with MDAC 2.5 is the way to go....
I had server 2003 but went straight back to 2000 (however, if I had my choice and it stil ahd the versatility, Id stil be using NT4)
Enjoy

Can I make websites in .NET if I use Windows 2000 Server with IIS 5.0 ?
You most certainly can.... download the .net framework 2.0 from microsoft, or imsply install visual studio (.net framework bundled) and youre away my man..
With IIS the only thing it wont run is PHP and JSP.
Need a hand configuring it, buzz
Enjoy...

Thanks for everything...
Ow... one more question:
Does the 10 connections mean, 10 people (remote IP's)/users can connect to it ?
Another way to ask this:
If someone downloads a 100 MByte file (for example), and the same person will browse the website at the same time, does not mean that it's using 2 connections or 1 ?
To clairfy thats 10 concurrent connections ie, only 10 people can download stuff at the same time.
Why use IIS? There must be 340934930 choices out there...(free choices ;)).
@kaihirst
IIS will run PHP. I don't know if it can run as a module, but it most certianly can run as a CGI. Isn't JSP = Javascript which is interpeted client side anyways? :p
No, JSP is not Javascript. JSP is Java Server Pages, which is a server side java web programming language. It works just like ASP, PHP and what not.

Ahh, thanks for clairfying that. Never heard of it before, nor used it before. :).Quote:

Both PHP and JSP will work accroding to PHP and Sun, respectivaly. :)Quote:
Because it uses ActiveX controls for its components, ASP technology is basically restricted to Microsoft Windows-based platforms. Offered primarily as a feature of Microsoft IIS...
If it's an ASP page, it has a cookie, meaning it's the same user.Quote:

Everything is clear now...
Thanks...
Now I have to think If I'll need more than 10 users or not(ie, Windows 2000 Server or stay with XP Pro)
