XP home doesn't support PWS or IIS - XP PRO does.

Also, PWS works on win 98 & IIS works on win2000.

There is some kind of work-around for XP home:

there is a way to install IIS on xp home. You can find it on 15seconds.com

I tried it twice. They mention you need the advanced server disk. I got it working with a windows2000 pro disk.

Let me know if you have trouble, I should be able to help.
