Thank you. &nbsp;I know that IIS only allows 10 connections which is fine now but in the future I will need 30 connections. &nbsp;How many connections can Win2K3 handle? &nbsp;Should I start with that knowing that I will eventally need 30 connections or can I develop under the IIS with 10 connections and expand latter?<br />

win2k3 can handle hundreds of thousands of connections, however, it will depend largely upon the hardware as to just how many. &nbsp;a desktop or a laptop will simply not handle the i/o processes and processor load.

I have a wireless network set up using Linksys. &nbsp;Two laptops and a hand held. &nbsp;I want to make one of the Laptops a server. &nbsp;This laptop has Windows XP professional version. &nbsp;I want to install IIS on it and then install Windows .net to develop my web applications. &nbsp;So the client laptop and the Handheld can login to the server lap top and get web pages and respond to them.<br />
<br />
Will IIS work well enough? &nbsp;Should I start with Windows Server 2003 Web Edition? &nbsp;<br />
What is the best way to get this all up and running.<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

Will IIS work for my goal or should I go to Windows Server 2003 Web Edition
