It also does not officially support it, but there are ways around it... http://adamv.com/dev/articles/iis-on-xp-homeand http://www.icarusindie.com/wiki/index.php/IIS_Windows_XP_Home You'll need a copy of windows 2000 to hand - trial version will do, if you don't have the full version - or 'borrow' a copy from a friend. As these articles with tell you - this is NOT SUPPORTED by MS, and is not recommended either - you should really buy WinXP Pro, which comes with IIS. A smile is worth a thousand kind words.
