**HOW TO HOST ON YOUR OWN MACHINE WITH WINDOWS XP**
Thought I would share did this late at night so if there's anything wrong let me know lol cheers
1) Goto your control panel -> click add/remove programs
2) Click add/remove windows components
3) Check Internet information service (double Click on it for more options) -> click next, let it install (make sure you insert your windows xp cd)
4) Right click your taskbar -> choose properties -> start menu tab -> click customize -> advanced tab -> scroll to the very bottom system administrative tools -> click display on all programs menu - click ok and so on
5)start -> all programs -> administrative tools -> click internet information services
6) click + beside computer name, then + beside websites - right click on default website -> properties, this is were you can configure your site (best to leave it as it is), only setting you may have to play with is the IP address (if behind a firewall/router assign your webpage your ISP ip address, if your typing in a 192.168 address wont work)
7) Now go to your C:\Inetpub\wwwroot -> this is your websites directory - the main page of your website has to be named index.htm, also what every you wanted displayed on or downloaded off your site must be in this folder as well.
8) open internet explorer -> type http://youripaddress, your page should be displayed
