    I'm guessing you have a server installed windows / mac / linux ?

    You can use IIS in windows its probably the handiest...Just plonk the files in the inetpub/wwwroot directory

    should mention if your using standard windows xp rather than windows server you will need to install IIS via control panel first .. add remove programs > add remove windows components >tick the IIS box ... you will also be limited to the number of people able to connect to IIS in xp without a hack.

    On a mac, you can just enable Websharing in preferences... and plonk the files in the webfolder ~library/WebServer

    On both the above just type the ip address of the server from whatever machine on the network & bang you have an internal website.

    If your running linux I have no idea ... anyone else ?

    Not that much different. Install Apache (most likely installed anyway) using the distro's package manager and drop the files into /var/www/htdocs (most usually, can vary). Then just make sure the Apache daemon is running and port 80 isn't blocked by any firewall running on the server.

    I'd like to do this too.
    Can you run mySQL?

    You can run a website on almost anything these days, for instance I run my personal website on a PDA (using PocketHPH as webserver).

    If you have some old banger of a computer knocking around, install Linux + Apache and just look up on the internet about where to put your website files and off you go.
