Thanks for the previous answer.

How do you set the ports for example a different port for IIS and A different one for Apache so that they run on the same machine?

I need example code for an ASP e-commerce and library systems to practice ASP. It has really fascinated me Pls Help.

Gracias mi amigo.

To change IIS to a new http port :
- IIS managment console : open the property page for your site (or the
default if you wish to change all of the sites) and switch
"TCP Port" to an other value.
- Web console : I just clicked through the Web-based config screens
until I found the spot for changing the port.
Restart all the IIS services

To change Apache to a new http port :
Open httpd.conf and look for two lines, one is "Listen 80" (or listen
YourIpAdress:80) and the other is "Port 80".  Change them to a different
number, perhaps like this:
Port 8080
Listen 8080

You need W2K or Win XP Pro. IIS is on the install cd along with ftp and smtp servers. Doesn't come with XP Home.

No real limits on email but your isp may have something to say about it. A lot of them block outgoing port 25 traffic unless you authenticate through them - using one of the email addresses they gave you.

Some isp's also limit the number of emails in an hour, number of cc's or bcc's, etc.

If you do any serious development it's a good idea to develop on your own pc instead of on a shared host. Makes things a lot smoother for people you share the host with. Also makes it relatively simple to keep development code separate from production/live code.

Nice job on the site Thumbs Up

Link exchanges aren't what they used to be. Looks like google has started discounting them. Good chance they can hurt you more than help you if the link-from sites don't have very similar keywords in their text and some relevant text in the link itself.

Is it possible to run Apache on 2 computers running on a hub with the same internet connection?

Dou you need to hit each apache server only from within your network or do you need to hit each one from the internet? Does the internet connection come into a router or does it go directly into one of the pc's with the other pc hanging off of it? Unix or windows?

Couple of ways to do it depending upon what you specifically need to do. broadbandreports has some good tutorials for various configurations.

The Internet runs into the back of a microsoft router and we are both on wireless connections. And we want them to be seen on the internet.

I'd set up the router to forward port 80 traffic to one machine and port 8080 traffic to the other.
Then set up whatever service you use for dns to forward www.site1.xxx to your-router-ip-address and www.site2.xxx to your-router-ip-address:8080
You'd have to configure site2 machine to listen for http requests on port 8080 instead of on port80
