IIS 5.1 Newbie

Thanks

By "(images include connections)" do you mean that I can not have more than ten images?

Also, how do I foward the port and determine what port it is running on? i do not want to manually select a port in case the one i select is being used already.

You can have as many images as you want. It just means
that requesting an image from a web server is considered
a connection.

By default, IIS runs on port 80. Forward all requests
from your router/firewall for port 80 to the ip address
of your IIS machine.

It's "concurrent" connections. Meaning if twelve users each make one
connection request at the same time, then two have to wait until the
others are finished. By default, most browsers will issue no more
than four concurrent connections. Meaning two and a half people can
browse the siyte simultaneously.

Unless you've specified a port, it's port 80. And you forward that in
your router, which is dependent on your router type so check with the
manufacturer.

Hi Jeff,

Small addition:
Internet Explorer by default uses only 2 simultaneous connections (that's
the HTTP standard) but there's a registry entry many people use to make it
10

Netscape and anything else Mozilla-based use 10 simultaneous as well

Access a page internally or externally? Have you actually configured
IIS? And tested it from the server itself? Using the localhost or
the IP address? On a "Hello World!" HTML file?
