Step 1: Go to "Control Panel", Then "Add/Remove Programs", then click on the "Add/Remove Components" Tab at top of window. 

 

 

Step 2: Place a check in the check box for "Internet Information Services (IIS)" If you wish, you can change the details of this install. If you do not know what you are doing, just use the default install.

Place the Windows 2000 Professional CD-Rom into your CD-Rom Drive because it is going to ask for it and click Next.

 

Step 3: If IIS installed correctly you can configure IIS by going to "Control Panel", "Administration Tools", then "Personal Web Manager" by double clicking.

 

Step 4: Once in Personal Web Manager you will see the Main dialog box. As seen below. It will show your home page and home directory default values. 

You can access your homepage via the address listed in that box. The home page is shown below as http://My_Computer  This should be the name of your computer. 

 

 

Step 5: You should be able to access your website at http://localhost. You should now be looking at the IIS documentation if you haven't placed another page into the home directory. 

 

HELP:

You may also substitute localhost for the name of your computer.

What is my Computer Name? Right-click on "My Computer" icon, select "Properties", and click on the "Computer Name"Network Identification" tab.

Example http://MyComputerName

 

 

Step 6: If you want to keep this IIS documentation, you should move it to another folder. Place your web site in virtual directory "c:\inetpub\wwwroot" and then type Example: "http://MyComputerName" into your web browser and you should see your page.
