Create a website using your web server software and place it there. Put the
URL for the website into the cleint browser and hit enter. That's it.

And there might be something useful for you in this lot...

You might want to rename the computer you choose to something easy because
the website address will be \\computername unless you use it's IP address
which will be something like 192.168.0.5 although if you set the homepage on
each client machine or put a shortcut on the desktop I guess that won't
matter much.

From the machine you choose to install PWS on the address http://127.0.0.1
should work for test purposes or http://localhost if I remember correctly.

You probably don't want to use PWS with an internet connected network unless
you have a firewall but it should work on a LAN if that's all you need.

Hope this helps a bit, but if you plan to go on to internet servers you will
either have to go with Linux and something like Apache or Windows 2000
"Server" editions to use their built in IIS servers. Of course you can get
Apache for Windows too and Windows server 2003 is behaving very well here on
test but it has more trouble with older hardware than 2000 server (finding
the right drivers etc).

You design the web pages on your machine first using whatever method you
want. Some pople who are good with HTML just use Notepad.

You then need a public webserver that will host your site. You ISP often
provides that as part of you Account,...ask them about it.

You then use an FTP client (example "WS_FTP") to upload the HTML files to
the webserver. Some Web Authoring packages, like MS FrontPage have certain
methods to upload and to "sync" the content between what you have on your
machine and what is on the web server,...but they can be *very* troublesome.
Half the time you still end up using something like WS_FTP to upload the
files even if you are using products like FrontPage.
