WEST, IIS comes with windows 2000 pro and up, and windows xp pro and up (not in home version). everyone's worried about many IIS security holes, so you may want to jsut use apache. go to www.apache.org and download apache web server for win32. it's nice, fast, and very configureable =p

i also use a little tool called dns2go (www.dns2go.com) that makes it easier for people to just type in an address such as blahblahblah.d2g.com if you haven't already registered and paid for a domain name (this is free by the way, it's a nice alternative, and you don't have to worry about yer IP changing).

there ya go :p

Ok .... here is what you do........... click start-------------->control panel-------------->add/remove programs-------------->then on the left of the window click "add/remove windows components"

and its in there IIS :D

BTW my web site is down right now cause my main puters at a friends for a lan party.

also, I use www.changeip.com to register my website. they have cooler sub-domains. rather than www.blahblah.d2g.com you can use www.blahblah.onedumb.com or www.blahblah.imastud.com or whatever.......

and i use a program called dyndns that updates my dynamic dns automatically.

Don't go jumping into IIS straight away, you might want to find out if your ISP has code-red or nimda through their network.

Also, I am assuming you have fast cable access (ie. 128kbs or greater upload) otherwise it is not worthwhile.

If I were you, I'll go for Apache instead of IIS. But I've heard that Apache have some issue with Windows, I've never really try Apache out, any one having any problem with Apache?

Apache...well it can't be worse than IIS, can it? :D

Ok I'm having a problem maybe someone here that has some IIS skils can help me.

I setup IIS and it works so that I can view the site locally...but it doesn't allow users from the outside of my network to view the site.

I have also setup and FTP. This one allows users of the outside to view it.

I'm using a cable modem on my machine and the IP is http://24.187.10.112

Can someone please help me out. I have looked at the settings and it seems to say that all users can see this site. I'm using the default site.

    • LibreWolf 139.0.4-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. Notes: To receive automatic updates, you may refer to the unofficial LibreWolf-WinUpdater that employs a scheduled task to accomplish the same.

    • I have Copilot on an A8-7410 APU (more than one), an A10-5745M APU, an A12-9720P APU, and a PRO A12-9800B APU.
    • So the 16 GB minimum memory requirement isn't to be taken seriously? The WU installer evidently took it seriously, at least in my case. https://www.techpowerup.com/31...lot-and-windows-ai-features
