Need some NT 4 Server info, please.

[ZoSo]

OK here's what I have:
PC1=Win98SE
PC2=NT4 SP6

I need to protype a website and what I need to do is set up the two machines as if it was the internet and I'm not sure on how to do this. I already have them set up with NIC's and a HUB and they can see each other. But I need to make it as if my Win98SE machine was the client and upload web pages to set up a Website, just like being on the real internet. If anyone could help or if you know of a site that can help me out with this, that would be great.

Thanks,

setup IIS with ftp and http. as long as you use relative links, you should be okay, but if you want, edit your c:\windows\hosts on the 98 machine and add something like:

www.example.com 192.168.1.1
^^^^^^^^^^^
replace with IP you gave the nt4 machine

this what you're looking for?

Yeah, thanks, I think I'll give it a shot when I get home. But I am also looking for some more info on how to do it, as it is my first time setting up a server.

If you wanted to have a bit of fun and be experimental, you could also enable FrontPage extensions and try uploading a web page via FrontPage.

Here is a link on IIS from MS's MSDN.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/server/default.asp

And here is a pseudo tutorial from Microsoft.

Here is an IIS resource page.

frontpage is for the devil

IIS includes documentation in HTML format on how to administer it. If you are really in the dark on IIS and web hosting, then I recommending reading a book or doing a search on IIS tutorials on the web. A good comprehensive answer on how to setup and admin web server is not going to be in a brief response within a bbs. Do some research and then come back for specific issues. You learn more by doing and playing.
