Dragan,

Check out the products at www.deerfield.com. I'm not sure if they have a way to make your IIS seem invisible, but they do have products that will allow you to implement a real web server (independent) environment using standard ISP connections.

As for getting caught, I'm not sure how someone could prove you were actually running IIS. Hell, all the ISP's I've worked with have a hard enough time providing basic services, so as long as you're not abusive, I don't think you will cause any problems. My guess is your test traffic will be significantly less than that of the average teenager sharing MP3 files.

I would be be curious to learn what solution you eventually end up with.

Good luck!
Malcolm


>My ISP threatens to pull my plug if I install any Web servers - that's in the contract etc. Now I want to do some local Web development, and turning the modem off, launching IIS, making sure nobody needs the Web on the other machine, shutting down IIS when I'm done, yelling to the other room that Web is available, turning on the modem... doing this each time is a real pain in the wrong region.

The search for the latter on MS website yielded only the stuff from NT4 option pack, which refuses to install on W2k. Or, if such an animal doesn't exist, how do I tell IIS to be invisible to the outer world?
