Dreamweaver MX test server

[Nom_Anor]

Currently, I am creating a web site, using Dreamweaver MX.  The coding/working the page isn't the issue.  Unfortunately, I cannot for the love of god, set up my own laptop as the test server.  There is a way to do this, but I forgot how.  Anybody out there play with this sort of thing???  Thanks.

BTW, here are my system specs:

P4 1.7 Ghtz Mobile (so it adjusts from 1Ghrz to 1.7)
40 GB HD
256 MB 266 Mhrz RAM
4x AGP 64 MB NVidia GForce 4 440 Go Vid Card :wicked:
WinXP Pro
Macromedia Studio MX and other misc. software.

I guess you want it to act as a web server?

Go to Start -> Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components.  Install Internet Information Services (IIS) - you may need your Windows XP CD during the installation.

Now, Internet Information Services will show up in Administrative Tools (in the Control Panel).  You can go there, find your "Default Web Site" and right-click on it and go to Properties and tell it where your web page actually is and do some other stuff.  You can also set up IIS's FTP, but I don't use IIS's FTP (not enough options).

Then you can view your web page from a web browser by typing in your laptop's IP address.  You could view the page from your laptop by typing http://127.0.0.1/ into your web browser.
