hi ive been toying with IIs webserver for basic html in xp pro and every time i try to connect to it

i get connection refused, can some one give me an ideal of why im probably having this problem

and btw im also toying with the basic ftp setup with xp pro using the IIs and that i can connect to just fine

Hi,

1.) Is IIS starting up fine?
2.) If yes, check if iis is listening on Port 80:

3.) If yes - do you have any firewalls enabled on your system?
4.) If no.... check your settings in the IIS Administrator and post details.

bye,

Egon
