    so hang on, are you just accessing the .asp file in a web browser
    or actually having the file in the inetpub/www directory? and accessing the local server

    the pages will not parse correctly if your not viewing them through a server, as asp is a server side language

    I read somewhere that IE treats all HTTP type requests as external unless you manually add the zone to the local intranet zones under *security* in IEs properties.

    I would do a bit of research (play around) in that area and see if you can stop IE from wanting to dial up.

    ok...... do this again, darn this logged out on me

    the ASP file werent in the wwwroot but now are and still not working.

    maybe its the script but i hope not as it is part of the NTLIC course.

    <%@LANGUAGE = "VBSCRIPT" %>
    <% OPTION EXPLICIT %>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Homepage</title>
    <link rel="stylescript" type="text/css" href="mysytles.css
    ">
    </head>
    <body>
    <div align="center">
    <table width="600">
    <tr>
    <!--#INCLUDE FILE ="header.asp"-->
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>
    <!--#INCLUDE VIRTUAL="c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/test/inc/
    navigate.asp" -->
    </td>
    <td width="450" valign="top">

    </table>
    </div>

    </html>

    as far as the 'zones' goes nothing that i can see directly relates to ASP but i hve added the http://127.0.0.1 to the local intranet sites in a vain hope this may help.....
    Phoneix you mentioned accessing the server, is there a correct way of doing this / programm to run or is it just using the correct url in the browser???

    antyhing pointing to your local machine and using a browser will be connecting to the local server
    so 127, the local ip address, localhost, or the machine name


    what is the files exact name and location
    and what are you typing into the browser

    first off Sandy did u nobble those boots off SimonV.....lol

    secondly.....yeahayyyyyy,,,,,,got it working at last...

    had a number of problems,,,but sorted through them slowly with lots of help from u guys TA..

    had to set up a virtual directory in iis.msc and use the comps network ID in the url to send it through the server...
    presumably i can set up a virtual directory for anywhere in c: not just in the wwwroot but thats for a later date.

    i also had a problem with the comp trying to log to the net every time i called a asp file or page, but sloved that by turning the 'work offline' tick in IE FILE.

    cheers for your help all

    till next time lol

    The boots are a long story - they are my lucky exam boots! http://www.conkershoes.co.uk if you want a pair. You can select from a number of colours I am thinking of a red and geen boot next time (for port and starboard.)

    If you want to run ASP.NET stuff on a desktop and don't have access to IIS (and don't want to fork out for XP Pro) get Cassini Webserver from www.asp.net it's a bit like MSDE is to SQL Server, free and easy.

    would that work for a local intranet as well, we are thinking of setting one up a work, and anything that cuts down on the budget would work in my favour......
    though must confess that i have never set up an intranet before...lol love and learn

    Not sure about that. I think it's a pretty simple version.
    If you want to set up a small network at low cost, you could try Microsoft's action pack subsription. I think you get ten licenses for XP pro and then other stuff like 2003 server, SQL, exchange, small business server etc. That's fun to play around with, but I'm hopless at netoworking which is why I'm not doing an MCSE...

    I've not read though all of this so if I have repeated someone else sorry about that.

    Here is the home page to IIS 6.
    http://www.microsoft.com/WindowsServer2003/iis/default.mspx

    If you look on the left hand side where it says downloads you can get server 2003 for a 6 month trial peroid. Since you're xp pro isn't working to well for you I would try 2003. It what they recommend for it anyway.
