I am currently hosting a website with xp pro using IIS. Is there a way to host two websites with 1 ip address, or do i have to call my cable company to purchase 1 more?

Yes, you certainly can.

Continued from IIS 5.1 - Installation \nIn order to go configure your website, you need to go:  \n\nStart -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Internet Information Services \n\nIt's a good idea to make a desktop shortcut to Internet Service Manager since we'll be playing with it a lot. \n\nDouble-click on "Internet Service Manager" and let's get started.  \n\nClick on the name of your computer to see the summary of what's going on with your computer.  In my case, my computer is called "DELL-500SC". Double-click on "Web Sites" in the right pane.  You'll see this: \n\nYou can disable a particular service (Web, FTP, or SMTP) by right clicking on the service and choosing "pause" or "stop".  \n\nYou'll notice under "IP Address" it says "All Unassigned"  This means that all requests to your server will be answered by your computer.  If for some reason your server has several IP addresses, you will want to specify the exact IP address that the Internet Services is supposed to respond to.  \n\nIf your computer only has 1 IP address, we can leave the IP address as "All Unassigned".  \n\nLet's take a look at the Web Service.  Right click on "Default Web Site" then select "Properties".  \n\nSince there are so many options I'll just hit the major points. \n\nTab: Web Site  \nDescription - Can be changed to your liking  \nIP Address - Can leave as "All unassigned" or the specific IP address of your computer.  \nTCP Port - 80 is the standard and should remain that way unless you have a good reason to change it.  \nConnections - Although it doesn't say so, we are limited to 10 concurrent web connections.  Each visitor creates 2-3 connections so this means your webserver using this software is limited to 3-4 concurrent visitors which should not be a problem for a small website.  \nTab: ISAPI Filters \nTab: Home Directory  \n\nLocal Path - This is where your files for your website reside.  Please change this to something else.  Many hackers will attack the default directory.  You can change this directory to whatever directory you like, but DO change it.  \nWrite - Unless you want your visitors to actually change your website, you must leave this unchecked.  \nDirectory Browsing - If you check this box, When a visitor comes to a directory that does not have a default document, the visitor will see an error message stating that they are not authorized to view the contents of that directory.  If you uncheck this box, they will get a complete list of what files you have in the directory.  It is best to leave the box unchecked.  \nTab: Home Directory  \n\nLocal Path - This is where your files for your website reside.  Please change this to something else.  Many hackers will attack the default directory.  You can change this directory to whatever directory you like, but DO change it.  \nWrite - Unless you want your visitors to actually change your website, you must leave this unchecked.  \nDirectory Browsing - If you check this box, When a visitor comes to a directory that does not have a default document, the visitor will see an error message stating that they are not authorized to view the contents of that directory.

yes you can.\n\n1) each pc on your network you need to give a set ip address, as most routers give each computer an ip address when the computer starts up.\n\n2) in your router setup you would have to also look at port fowarding, this so outside world requests can get thorugh to a specif machine, you should have some already pre set but not operation, i have a linksys, i give an app name such as http, set the external port to 80, internal port to 80, it will ask for an internal ip address. this would be the ip of your web server in my case 10.0.0.3 and save changes.\n3) you would then need some sort of dns lookup service. if you join no-ip.com which is free, then go to download there software onto your web server. my site is shoey.no-ip.info (its not up as im upgrading my server) then this will keep no ip up to date with your connection.\n4) you would follow similar processes for setting up ftp etc\n\nthis is only a really rough quick, guide. if you e-mail me what router you got, id be able to give you something a bit more to your settings

If you choose to use the DHCP to assign IP addresses then the router will only assign IP address from one subnet (ie. 192.168.1.x, or 192.168.2.x, etc.) to both wired and wireless clients.  \n\nIf you would prefer to use your router to assign addresses across multiple IP subnets, this can be accomplished by assigning all IP addresses manually.\n\nSo, the answer is yes, if you want it to. Or... No, if you don't want it to.

For remote desktop you need to have ports forwarded on your router and have xp pro installed on the computer you want to connect to.\n\nIf you use a program called Hamachi, and UltraVNC you can connect to them remotely and securely.\n\nHamachi will establish a vpn connection between the two computers, secure and safe.  One click setup is the best part, that and free.\n\nUltraVNC will allow you to gain remote control of the computer.  \n\nIn combination you will need no ports forwarded and it will be secure.

You will need to do the following to host your website from your home:\n\n1. Get a Broadband connection with Public Static IP address. (Static IP given by ISP is not enough. It must be public IP)\n\n2. Setup a Web server. Either IIS on Windows or Apache on Linux.\n\n3. Host your website by setting up appropriate Virtual directory.\n\n4. Use a Service like Dynamic DNS to make sure your Domain name resolves to your Static IP (Provided by your ISP)\n\nAll the best. Let me know when its done so i can take a look as well!

Where are the 98 and the working XP machine getting their IP from?\n\nFrom what you wrote you have a win98 machine with 2 NICs.  One pointing to the Internet and the other to an internal network.  Both XP machines are using the internal network to connect to the Win98 machine which has Internet sharing enable on it.  Do I have it correct so far?\n\nIf so then you need to configure all the internal NIC to be using the same IP ranges with the same mask and the external NIC of the Win98 machine as the gateway.\n\nIt would seem that adding a router to your configuration would be your best solution and then all 3 computers could get their IP information from that.

Wow.. first question why 50 domain names? What are you going to do when your year is up? Can you set your nameservers to precisionhosting? Do you have a static ip address to point the nameservers to? \n\nYou need a site that supports asp .net 2.0 (and does precision hosting offer this?) and least sql server express to fully  use the visual web developer.\n\nYou don't need to transfer the domain registrar just update the nameserver entries at the domain registrar to point to the ip of your new website.\n\nBTW there is no hosting service called precision hosting... You could host your own websites on your own machine if you are using XP pro but you will be limited on the number of concurrent connections.

Depending on if your interenet service provider uses dynamic or static IP addresses, there is a possibility that you can have more than one.  The link below explains it all in layman's terms.  Hope this helps!

I would run a spyware program like ad-aware (lavasoftusa.com). Go ahead and install XP after that.  Pro can be put into a domain network (like in an office) and home can't.  That is the ONLY difference.  So I would say go Pro if you have it, then you have the flexibility.\n\nYou won't need to find any drivers for XP, I'm sure it will have everyhting you need.

Yes, you need another router. It will the fastest and most efficient way to do this. There is software you could install that allows it to be done through one of the computers, but it is a nightmare and you would always have to have both machines on. With the prices of Internet Broadband routers these days, why even bother.\n\nI won't fill up this page with the "How-to", so please take a look here:\n\nhttp://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1114037291160&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper

In the example above, "yoursever" is your website.  For example, if you own billybob123.com, you would replace "yourserver" with "billybob123.com" in the above example, so it would look like http://billybob123.com/catalog/inst..."  Don't try to click on that link, it won't go anywhere.  :-)\n\nI think the above example is assuming you do have your own domain.  I'm not sure what to do if you're using something like geocities or your ISP's personal webspace.  If the program name indicates what it does, you might not be able to.  If you adminster a domain, and need help, whoever gives you tech support should be able to help.  If you don't....  I don't know what to tell you, but I do wish you luck!

one bit at a time, no but seriously, if your modems ip address is running dhcp all you need is a switch, plug the modem into the switch with a straightthrough cable and then attach each xp client to the switch with a straight through cable. and then run the network setup wizard,

Just install IIS or use Apache - setup the website on any port (most likely port 80 if you don't want to type the port in).  Hook up to  your router (usually 192.168.0.1) and use port forwarding and choose whatever port above and point it to your internal IP of your server.\n\nIf you want to have a domain, just setup one with DNS2GO which will automatically configure a dynamic IP.  GOOD LUCK!

if ur IP provider provided u static IP adress I think this will work:----\n \n\nChange Your Ip In Less Then  Minute in a windows system{written wrt to win XP}\n\n1. Click on "Start" in the bottom left hand corner of screen\n2. Click on "Run"\n3. Type in "command" and hit ok\n\nYou should now be at an MSDOS prompt screen.\n\n4. Type "ipconfig /release" just like that, and hit "enter"\n5. Type "exit" and leave the prompt\n6. Right-click on "Network Places" or "My Network Places" on your desktop.\n7. Click on "properties"\n\nYou should now be on a screen with something titled "Local Area Connection", or something close to that, and, if you have a network hooked up, all of your other networks.\n\n8. Right click on "Local Area Connection" and click "properties"\n9. Double-click on the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" from the list under the "General" tab\n10. Click on "Use the following IP address" under the "General" tab\n11. Create an IP address (It doesn't matter what it is. I just type 1 and 2 until i fill the area up).\n12. Press "Tab" and it should automatically fill in the "Subnet Mask" section with default numbers.\n13. Hit the "Ok" button here\n14. Hit the "Ok" button again\n\nYou should now be back to the "Local Area Connection" screen.\n\n15. Right-click back on "Local Area Connection" and go to properties again.\n16. Go back to the "TCP/IP" settings\n17. This time, select "Obtain an IP address automatically"\ntongue.gif 18. Hit "Ok"\n19. Hit "Ok" again\n20. You now have a new IP address\n\nWith a little practice, you can easily get this process down to 15 seconds.\n\nWarning:-\nThis only changes your dynamic IP address, not your ISP/IP address. \nHACKERS TIP:- If you plan on hacking a website with this trick be extremely careful, because if they try a little, they can trace it back\n\nor otherwise try by reconnecting IP add will automatically change if ur IP provided with u unstatic one.\n\nPlz feel free to contact me if u face any problem\n\nOr otherwise use proxy

Assuming it is a true server\nthe first issue you will encounter has to be the "Sata" drivers (altho i personally dont think servers are built with sata, unless for RAID 5)\nsecondly, any SCSI cards will have conflicts while loading drivers specially the ones with embeeded memory.\nAnd lastly, you will be missing MANY options that windows xp pro does not come built with for easy configuration (DHCP, WINS, Terminal Services, DNS, Active directory) \nAnd lastly, windows xp does not read more than 3gb of RAM...\nbut yes, other than this, windows xp pro will run just fine.

XP Home doesn't have the Remote Desktop server capability.  XP Home can be a client (controlling an XP Pro machine), but it can't be a server (being controlled by another machine).  For that, you can use a program like VNC, free from http://www.realvnc.com . \n\nThese tips should help you get the computers to see each other: \n\n\n1. If the computers run the original or SP1 versions of Windows XP, disable XP's built-in Internet Connection Firewall on local area network connections -- it's for use only on a direct modem connection to the Internet.  If they run SP2, enable the exception for file and printer sharing in the Windows Firewall.  Disable and un-install all \nother firewall programs while troubleshooting.  When un-installing a firewall program, use the un-install procedure provided by the \nmanufacturer .  Don't use Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs, which might not completely un-install it. \n\n\nFor more information, see: \n\n\nWindows XP Internet Connection Firewall \nhttp://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/ic_firewall.htm \n\n\n2. Use only one protocol for File and Printer Sharing.  If the network needs more than one protocol, unbind File and Printer Sharing from all but one of them.  Details here: \n\n\nWindows XP Network Protocols \nhttp://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/network_protocols.htm \n\n\n3.  Make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all computers. Details here: \n\n\nEnable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (NetBT) \nhttp://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/troubleshoot/netbt.htm \n\n\n4. Run "ipconfig /all" on XP and look at the "Node Type" at the beginning of the output.  If it says "Peer-to-Peer" (which should actually be "Point-to-Point") that's the problem.  It means that the computer only uses a WINS server, which isn't available on a peer-to-peer network, for NetBIOS name resolution. \n\n\nIf that's the case, run the registry editor, open this key: \n\n\n   HLM&#92;System&#92;CurrentControlSet&#92;Services&#92;Netbt&#92;Parameters \n\n\nand delete these values if they're present: \n\n\n   NodeType \n   DhcpNodeType \n\n\nReboot, then try network access again. \n\n\nIf that doesn't fix it, open that registry key again, create a DWORD value called "NodeType", and set it to 1 for "Broadcast" or 4 for "Mixed". \n\n\nFor details, see these Microsoft Knowledge Base articles: \n\n\nDefault Node Type for Microsoft Clients \nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;160177 \n\n\nTCP/IP and NBT Configuration Parameters for Windows XP \nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314053
