IIS isn't working...

Please forgive me, I'm a noob

I just installed IIS 5 and I can't get it to work...

I am trying to go from apache to IIS and it's completly foreign to me.

Can anyone out there help me configure IIS to work?

I managed to get it installed on windows XP home but the configuration eludes me.

I have set to run at localhost:8080 and that works but it will not display any pages.

I know the server is open to port 8080 because when I go there I get the "cannot find page" at localhost:8080, 404 error.

when the server is stopped it get an error that tells me to check my connection settings.

so please can anyone help me?

XP Home doesn't support IIS, sorry.

I'm Sorry Wrong computer, The one I'm putting IIS on is XP Pro.

I got it to work, but now I have a wierd problem

when I run from http://localhost:8080 I can use my ASP scripts, When I run from from my domain name or IP Address I get asked for a username and password.

The thing is I don't realy know what I need to do in order to access the script and use the server from my domain name.

can you please help me out?

If http://localhost:8080 works but http://myipaddress:8080 doesn't work I suspect you have some port forwarding issue through your firewall or router.

Ok, Here's the issue...

when I configure IIS to accept anonymous connections and have "Allow IIS to control password" ticked I can get everything to work as far as http:// goes...

i.e.

http://localhost:8080
http://machinename:8080
http://domainname:8080
http://127.0.0.1:8080
http://ip.add.res.s:8080

but the script doesn't work.

when I un-tick "Allow IIS to control password", the script works, but I can only access it through:

http://localhost:8080
http://machinename:8080

Any ideas on how I can get the script to work and the server to work on all the addresses?

If you need a copy of the scripts youo can get one here, ftp://ftp.tnsoft.com/rasetup.exe


P.S.

I don't have a fire wall or router
