[AccessD] ASP - getting started

Hi Sander - OK - I've gone thru' all that and it all works so long as I use http://127.0.0.1/, so to use your example I can enter 
http://127.0.0.1/prjWacky  and see the page but not if I use my computer name.

In my case the PC is called OfficePC. I have created a subfolder called Test and it has a file in it called index.html. (WHich I can modify to be an ASP later).

When I go into Administration Tools in the CP and look at 'Default Web Site' I can see the subfolder 'Test'.
When I go into the Properties of Test and click on the 'Documents' tab the name Index is the first file name.

The only problem I seem to have (given that all this works with 127.0.0.1) is that the browser can't find the computer name of OfficePC or find it using localHost despite my having reinstalled etc.)

Is there anything I need to set under the Properties of OfficePC (computer name) itself?
Cheers
Kath

  Hi there,

  is you're problem still that you cannot open you're
  page with IIS locally installed?

  I just started building ASP stuff 2 weeks ago but I
  ran into the same problems. Took me a while before I
  got it going but now it runs like a train!

  Didn't read everything about this but you could try
  the following.

  Lets say you're computername is: wacky
  you've got a project called: prjWacky (THIS MEANS THAT
  IN YOU'RE INET\WWWROOT you got a dir called prjWacky
  with some files in it!)
  You've got a file in it called wackyhome.asp

  Now in you're IIS you've got this project (map)
  in/under the "DEFAULT WEB SITE" directory:
  in IIS you see:
  wacky
   |-Default Web Site
       |-Scripts
       |-...
       |-prjWacky
           

  When you right click prjWacky and go to the tab
  documents you're wackyhome.asp should be the first
  item. If it isn't add it!

  Then you should type the following in you're browser:
  wacky/prjWacky

  and tadaa you're first web site!

  HTH

  Sander

  BTW try VB-FORUMS.COM and check ASP thingy!!
