Dragan,
Even PWS would be visible to the outside world. If you're not associating a domain name with an IP address, I seriously doubt they would be able to determine that you're running a web server...
>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.

>Is there a way to set IIS to behave like a decent PWS, or is there a way to get a PWS for W2k Pro? 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?

>TIA for saving a few miles of my nerves.
