| 118769 | 2003-02-06 02:25:00 | Hello, Does any one know of any "Free" easy to set-up and use web server software???? For a WIN ME or XP/pro computer. I don’t know much about Apache it is too confusing for me including IIS. I just want to set-up a simple web server which servers up some WebPages & Which I can have a play around with etc... Also I all ready set-up some dynamic DNS accounts. Note: the computer that will have the web server on, it will be on a network (LAN) to get to the Internet. Will that be a problem??? Also I am on a ADSL internet connection. |

| 118771 | 2003-02-06 02:40:00 | 1) There is a link here (www.ritlabs.com) for a small web server. Never tried it though. 2) Running a web server can definitely pose problems for network security and should be run on a different network segment. A product like Smoothwall (http://www.smoothwall.org) offers a good firewall solution, but requires a dedicated PC. 3) If you have an xtra account I think you will find that the terms of your agreement stipulate No Servers. |

| 118773 | 2003-02-06 02:49:00 | Savant (http://savant.sourceforge.net/) is another simple Web server. Is your ADSL connection through a router or direct to a PC that then provides ICS to the networked PCs? If you are using a router, you need to pinhole port access to the PC the server is running on (set a fixed IP for that PC). |

| 118775 | 2003-02-06 03:42:00 | I thought IIS came free with XP Pro. It is not that difficult to setup. However, Apache is a better server technology, and is free. Took a friend about 15mins to get Apache setup on his FTP server (running winNT). >>Note: the computer that will have the web server on, it will be on a network >>(LAN) to get to the Internet. Will that be a problem??? What is the LAN setup?:| - star, ring, bus. Any routers/bridges/gateways?:| Which component in the network is connected to the Internet. >>Also I am on a ADSL internet connection. Good for you:D radz:p |

Xtra don't allow you to run a server on their "residential" type accounts. But with a business plan, they LOVE you to... it's more income for them, natuurlijk :) |
