Our website is hosted by a ISP. We're trying to setup an IIS server on-site. I installed the server NT 4.0/IIS 4.0. I loaded the html & image files. I have a Win98 workstation. I added my ip and ws name to the lmhosts file on NT. I thought I was accessing the website from NT but I shutdown the server and I can still access the website. How can I test my webpage on the IIS server.

Don't add the entries to lmhosts -- that is only used by Microsoft-specific networking. Add the entries to hosts. ______________________________________________________________________

If the workstation changes ip as it reconnects to the network it will still be able to connect to the website/local on the IIS 4.0 as the IIS 4.0's ip will still be in the hosts file on the Win98 workstation. Just make sure the NT Server acting as a DHCP server has a static ip address that remains unchanged. Remember, life is what you make it.
