adding web sites

[venkman]

I have multiple domain names for one server/ip address. I'm trying to configure multiple web sites on this one server. I've looked up a bunch of help articles and they all seem to say that you can add a web site by right clicking on the computer icon in mmc, and selecting new->web site or something like that. I've tried right clicking on the computer icon, do not see new, and see no other place for an add web site option. I'm running IIS 5.1 with Windows XP. Anybody know why there's no add new website option there, or where to find it?

my bad, just found windows xp pro only supports one website. Help file says:
"How do I create multiple Web sites?
Windows XP Professional with IIS can host one Web site and one FTP site on a single computer. If you would like to host multiple Web or FTP sites on a single computer, consider upgrading to a Windows server product. "

btw, does anyone know of a work around/hack for this?

Perhaps you could use different port numbers for the one web site you have?? But, why do you need different web sites - can't you just put your different projects in subfolders, or do you really need to have separate "names" for them???
