I had Windows XP Home Edition on my computer to find that it did not support
IIS, so everyone said that I would be able to upgrade to Windows XP Pro and
that failed badly. I had to reformat and start from scratch. I then
installed IIS and I was able to do http://localhost I then continued to
install the same software that I had on Home Edition. Several third party
programs including Mcafee Security Center but I had that installed from the
beginning and it was working. I did install Office XP downloaded sp3 and
apply security fixes then SQL 2000 Developer SP3a last Frontpage 2003.
I now get
Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer
I even placed an htm file and tried http://localhost/test.htm
that also failed
I thought I was going to be able to use IIS for my web developement and now
I do not know why I wasted two days upgrading to XP Pro if IIS does not
work.
I stopped as many services as I could without shutting down xp but it still
fails.
Does anyone have an idea what I can do? I am at witts end and still up at
3:00 AM trying to get this bloddy thing to work.
Thanks in advance
