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.

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.

    • Google launches Doppl, an app that lets you to try on new clothes without leaving your home by Aditya Tiwari Google Labs, home to the search giant's experimental projects, has released a new app called Doppl. The app lets you try clothes virtually on an animated version of yourself and lets you visualize how an outfit might look on you. Doppl builds on the virtual try-on features announced at this year's Google I/O developer conference as a part of Google Shopping, which allowed users to virtually try billions of clothing items after uploading a photo. The experimental app brings more features such as the ability to use photos or screenshots to "try on" outfits. The app can convert static images to AI-generated videos with "dynamic visuals" to give a better idea of how an outfit might look. You can also share the AI-generated video with your friends to get a second opnion. "With Doppl, you can try out any look, so if you see an outfit you like from a friend, at a local thrift shop, or featured on social media, you can upload a photo of it into Doppl and imagine how it might look on you," Google explained in a blog post. However, the search giant cautions that it's still an experiment at the end of the day. When trying virtual outfits, things like fit, appearance, and clothing details may not be accurate all the time. Doppl is available to Android and iOS users living in the US, but there is no word on when (or if) the app will arrive in other regions. The app requires you to upload a full (non nude) body photo or use an AI model to try on different looks and styles. The app adds to the platter of shopping experiences the company has been baking into its products and services. Alongside virtual try-on, Google previously updated the AI Mode in Google Search with features to browse, consider options, and refine product searches. Google also introduced an agentic checkout experience to buy products at a price that falls under your budget. It lets you track price on any product listing, set the right size or color, and the amount you want to spend. The tool can complete the buying process on your behalf. Plus, lets be honest... if you hate dealing with people, this app might be just what you need.
