Using Windows 2000 with this Book
There are a number of different versions of Windows 2000 and each version has slightly different installation routines and different tools. However, Internet Explorer 5.0 is built into all versions of Windows 2000 – so if you're planning to view pages with a machine that has the Windows 2000 operating system, you already have a browser.
Moreover (and as we mentioned a moment ago), Microsoft is distributing Windows 2000 with its own web server software, Internet Information Server 5.0 (IIS 5.0), which supports ASP 3.0. So if you're planning to use a Windows 2000 machine as your web server, then your web server software is already available to you. You just need to check that IIS 5.0 has been installed onto your machine – we'll run through the check and the installation procedure shortly.
The ideal set-up for this book is a single machine running the Windows 2000 operating system, with IIS 5.0 and a web browser installed and running on that machine. At the very least, you'll need a web server that supports ASP.
