Hey, I''ve got a web application (asp) that i want computers on my personal network to be able to view.... I cant just share teh file, because, well if you know about this then you know why, lol, if anybody could help on how to setup a web server, for only inner network uses, i''d greatly appreciate it, thanks

Okay, maybe this was a bit confusing... to see an Active Server Page on a computer that it is stored on, you have to do the http://localhost/, how would i view that page from a different computer on the network...
i know that sharing the fodler with the files in it would not work.. because they would need personal web server, or internet information services to be running, which would be nonsense... hope this clear it up some, thanks

Your other computers on the network should have a LAN IP address if they are all connected via a router for instance. This is obviously different than the WAN IP number that you have. Typically your LAN IP range will be from 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255. The computer running the scripts should have an IP in that range and you can access it with that number from other computers linked in the same network. Of course you have to remember that the 192.168.x.x number can only be accessed within your LAN and never outside it. Another thing is if you are using DHCP via a router which dynamically assigns IP numbers to your networked computers you would at least have to change the computer running the scripts to a static internal LAN IP. Here is a webpage that outlines the process. It shows how to go through the TCP/IP dialog etc.
