    I want to create a home network between 2 home computers.
    I have a Compaq server, with no OS installed.
    I want to install a windows-based OS with IIS features
    ex. http:\\localhost\ will bring me to a website on the Server.
    What OS should I use?:confused

    Doesn't that rather depend what you have available to you ?

    IIs 5 and above will install on Windows 2000 server and above.

    A restricted version of IIs is included with windows XP professional (not home)

    "to allow users to manage simple web servers" quoting Microsoft.

    This may be enough for your purposes
