Intranet Installation

You will have to enable IIS or some other web server, but if you are using Proxy, it should already be running. Just run Internet Service Manager, it may be under the Option Pack start menu item. Since this is an oldish post you may already know that!

The address will be the server that it is on, ie with any directories you create added such as it wont need a seperate ip address.
If you don't include a filename, it will use the default html file, which for Microsoft products is usually default.htm This can be changed after you set up the data directory.
To do this, open the Internet Service Manager, right click on Default Web Site and choose New > Virtual Directory. Give it a sensible name such as Info (bear in mind it's the name to be used in the url) click next and browse to the directory you want. Choose the permissions you want and click Finish. Right click on your new virtual directory, go to properties and on the Documents tab you can set the default html (or asp) file so the users don't have to type that in as well.
As long as it will be just for the intranet, don't worry much about security permissions, unless you have users who might be inclined to mess with the site. Since this is in essence a full Webserver, you can also run all sorts of stuff like asp for server side processing of forms, and set restricted areas for specific domain users/groups. This is really only the broadest of brush strokes, people make a career out of looking after IIS!
Hope this is clear enough.
