I'm used to working with linux (apache) servers, but now I own an offsite Windows 2003 server running IIs6. I seen the help files, but they confuse me and I dont really know where to start to be honest. When i go into the IIS administrator, it says everything including 'webserver' is running, but i'm unable to access the default web pages with my browser, i tried both my server IP and 'localhost'. I'll also have to set up nameservers, php, mysql, etc...but first i wanna see the default web pages load in a browser before i get to far in it. The server came with one IP, i ordered another because NS nameservers require 2. I plan to use this server to host a 'halo' game, as well as multiple web site....i considered a hosting business to help pay for the server. Any and all information would be appreciated. If i can't figure out how to use the IIS, which i rather would, i'll just install Apache and do it the old fashioned way. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

How about WAMP?

Man, you left Apache for IIS 6? Are you mental? j/k

You can see the default website in a web browser with this convention:

http://servername/sitename

I would abandon the default webpage altogether though. In the IIS Manager:

1. Right-click on Websites and pick New>Web Site
