hosting a page on my computer...

When I was using XP I simply activated port 80 from my firewall to allow
outside access to a page located in my localhost. Could anybody tell me what
do I have to do in Vista to make my pages accessible from outside?

Thanks in advance...

Does your ISP know you are running a web server?

Probably not, but now everyone knows you want to be a net cop.

No. I'm just studying Visual Studio and making some tests with the pages a
build. Not interested in building commercial pages by now.

When I had XP installed on my computer, I just turned port 80 on, and
accessed the page using my IP address, like http://xx.xx.xx.xx/page...

Here in Vista, I don't even know how to install IIS. In xp I entered the
Control panel/Add programs/Add windows components. Could you please tell me
how do I do it in Vista.

Somebody wrote I wanted to be a net cop, I reallly don't understand...

Just making the OP aware that his account is likely to be pulled if his ISP
finds out......seems you don't know about these things, do you?

Ignore Ringmaster - he's trying to make out he knows a lot more than he
does.

If you go to Control Panel-Programs and Features, and then in the Tasks
pane, click on "Turn Windows Features on or off", it's called Internet
Information Services. Select it and OK out.

You would do the same thing. The firewall is the firewall and IIS is IIS.

OK Gordon

Thank you for answering

I'll try it and let you know...

Yes, but, under XP I used McAfee's firewall which was very easy to configure,
but under Vista, I'm using just the firewall built in it, I was trying to
find out where I could set this port, and I didn't find anything related to
port 80.

So I wonder, could it be that under Vista is not port 80 at all but some
other setting?

Do you know what keys/menus I have to navigate in order to find where to
make iis pages accesible from outside?

Control Panel-Windows Security Center. In the Left hand pane click on
Windows Firewall. In the next dialog box that appears, click on "Change
Settings". Click on the Exceptions tab, and at the bottom click on "Add
Port"
