RESOLUTION ========== To install IIS 5.0 or IIS 5.1, perform the following steps: 1. From the Start menu, click Control Panel, and then click "Add/Remove Programs". 2. Select "Add/Remove Windows Components", select the Internet Information Services (IIS) component, and then follow the on-screen instructions. NOTE: IIS 5.0 and 5.1 are not installed by default unless Windows is upgraded over a previous version of Windows that had PWS installed. MORE INFORMATION ================ IIS has the following limitations: - Limited to 10 connections - Limited to one Web and one FTP server. In other words, you cannot create additional virtual Web or FTP servers.
