Hi Gerald,

As Guy pointed out, the name of the server to look for in VI will be the computer name of the PC you have PWS running on. To find this name, go into your Control Panel, and double click on the Network icon. Select the Identification tab. There will be a field labeled "Computer Name". This will be there server name in PWS.

Alternatively, open up the Personal Web Manager (a program the PWS installation would have created an icon for). Click on "Main" in the left column of icons, and in the publishing box, if PWS is running, it will say "Your homepage is available at..." and have a HTTP:// url. The name after the "//" is your PWS server name, use this in VI. If it does not say that web publishing is on, click on the start button. Then you will see the url.
