Yep, thanks T. Found that, also found the PC's registry ( I'm more familar with Unix than NT ). Is there any other place such information would be stored?

Thanks,
Stu

In addition to the registry, IIS uses something called the Metabase for certain settings. Here is an url that should help you get started.

Sorry about the linebreaks.

U're welcome jo90... I wouldn't mess with the registry since there's a GUI for u to work with. MS products, IMO, are not as robust as Unix's and the last thing you'd want to do is endangering urself.

Also keep in mind that IIS behaves very weird from time to time and be prepared to be baffled by it's weird behavior. Avoid using MS's Lockdown utility as it will sometimes render IIS unusable.

Good luck.

Hi,

I know it is a kinda chance to mess with the NT registry, esp., when my experience is UNIX, however I am getting one entry in this Confiruration Wizard - when installing an agent on to IIS, it is giving the incorrect IP address to point to. It says currently configured to : 1.1.1.1 ( which is the incorrect IP address ), I've ran the wizard several times peach time putting in the correct IP address, however it keeps coming back to this one.... any ideas on how to stop this?

IIS will only show IP addresses that u've bind to your NIC (& the option of "all unassigned&quot. So make sure u have the ip addresses entered correctly on ur NIC.

Good luck.
