    ASP.NET webserver

    Are the only things that can run asp.net mod_mono(for apache, mod_mono only supports unix os's) and iis? If so, um why is it easier to run asp.net on a unix os when microsoft is the developer of asp.net???
    Only 3 windows version have iis, win2k, winxp pro, win2k3, what are the rest of us supposed to do? (btw, i have winxp home edition......)

    Home users don't need a web server, that is why it isn't included. If you need a web server, then you need to upgrade.

    It is like saying:
    I bought a car but it didn't come with a bed to haul stuff in. Why the hell would they do that? What do they expect me to do, buy a truck?

    Most users probably don't, but i DO, i can't afford winxp pro. Its bull that there is NO way for me to run an asp.net server with winxp home.

    I'm with you on this one Arrow_raider, it is a joke that you can't host asp.net pages while Unix users can. I run Apache but on Windows and i was a little p*ssed off to find that i'd have to either upgrade windows or switch to Unix just to host asp.net pages.

    In the meantime you can get free asp.net hosting with database support at www.brinkster.com which is ok for developing stuff although not reliable enough for a live site.

    Do you need a web server for development or to actually host a site from your computer?

    If you need one just for development then there is a web server that comes packaged with the web matrix available from www.asp.net - but I'm pretty sure this is only accessible locally and I'm not sure if you have to develop using web matrix to use it.

    Maybe an option not sure.

    i use webmatrix already, and i already have had a brinkster account, i also have a webmatrixhosting account(which is better, cause it allows SQL server access). Anyways, this one needs have me being the server, the reason for this is, i need a thing that allows certain people to upload files to my comp. Now actually, this doesn't restrict it to asp.net, but i know how to do it in asp.net and dont' know anything else like asp, php, perl, etc...

    wouldn't setting up an ftp server make more sense if all you need to do is transfer files? there are dozens of free ftp and file sharing apps out there. It is a bummer that you can't run iis on an xp home ed, though.
