Im not sure if it supports ASP but you can try researching APACHE web server.
http://httpd.apache.org/ - http://httpd.apache.org/ If it does not support ASP im sure there is a download or mod or something that will allow it too. Hope that works |

- "Dreamweaver" is a tool to create ASP pages, not serve ASP pages, so that has no impact here - Apache does not support serving ASP (you'd need "ChiliSoft", which is expensive and doesn't support all of ASP functionality) - Of one pokes around that XP Home "hack", they'd see that it doesn't widely work ------------- Contribute to the working anarchy we fondly call the Internet |

Microsoft offers something called Cassini which I know is used to
serve up ASP.NET pages, but not sure if it will work with ASP. But
worth a try...  http://www.asp.net/Projects/Cassini/Download/Default.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=1 - http://www.asp.net/Projects/Cassini/Download/Default.aspx? tabindex=0&tabid=1 ------------- If you dont want my peaches, dont shake my tree |

Cassini only "does" ASP.NET (below straight off the website) Cassini Sample Web Server (Updated 6/18)
Bottom line.... there is no worse OS to have on your local machine than XP Home.. it simply wasn't designed with the Web Developer in mind.. hell, even Windows Me is better for a developer than XP Home is One option, and an option i use, is to use a program called " http://www.vmware.com - VMWare " and run another OS in a window and have that as your "Web Server", and you can connect to it via FP Extensions, FTP, all that good stuff So i have Windows Server 2003 running inside a window on XP Pro (not wanting to use IIS on my everyday machine, various virus issues over the past years feast on improperly setup home IIS's)
and in Server 2003 i can have multiple "sites" ( http://www.morningz.com/sections/playground/files/images/vmmare_localsites.jpg - screenshot ), something you cannot do in XP Pro anyways, so this works out great anyways, probably too much information, but hopefully it presents another option ------------- Contribute to the working anarchy we fondly call the Internet |
