Then go to control panel, Add Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Programs, and make sure IIS (Internet Information Service, i think) is checked, (uncheck the ones that show ftp server) next, on your router, go to Virtual WAN (If i remember correctly) put in your external IP Address (if you don't know it, go to http://www.whatismyipaddress.com then in the port, put 80, 8080, and 8000 (basic http ports) then put in the internal IP address of the server (start>run - type in cmd, then in the command prompt - type ipconfig) Once you get that set up, go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, click the IIS Icon, then look for the web server, right click it, and create the target folder to what you want people to see. fiddle around with it - you'll learn as you go. |

| 431723 | 2006-02-18 04:25:00 | Running a server on an ADSL connection really isn't advisable (not to mention against most ISPs TOS). As I'm sure you have gathered with all the media attention lately, the upstream speeds on Jetstream plans are only 128k at the moment and will increase on the more expensive plans to 512k in the next few months. Even if Telecom increased upstream speeds to the ADSL max of 1MBit, it would still be only satisfactory for a very small website. Even if your connection speeds were satisfactory, your house can't match the security and reliability of a data center. My advice would be to look at The Planet (www.theplanet.com) if you need a server (though I doubt you do at this stage) or TJR Networks (http:) if you just want some regular shared hosting. :) |
