    define "similar" -- if you want a webserv : apache,et al.

    alternatively: running IIS on XP home (bit dodgy, but you get IIS...)

    WEB - Apache - 60% of the internet can't be wrong...

    There are lots of other FREE web servers and ftp servers out there too.

    IIS - it isn't secure - if you put this on the internet you need a separate firewall and even then you are wide open to buffer venurabilites etc. which a firewall won't protect you from.

    And why are you running XP home - it's a punishment from microsoft for not buying XP pro :)

    Don't forget to check your firewall settings to allow stuff out on port 80.
