Hello all,

I'm a newbie with respect to IIS and also I'm new to this job (sysadmin MS
Server 2003).
We have already web sites running on this machine.
I thought: "just make a new one and play with it, you might learn
something"

I went to the iis help file and followed its instructions to create a new
web site.
we have e.g. an intranet site: intranet.vst.
It has
Host header value: intranet.vst
folder: d:\data\websites\intranet2.vst
description: intranet.vst
IP addresss All Unassigned
Read is checked

Following the instructions I created a new site:
Host header value: intranet3.vst
folder: d:\data\websites\intranet3.vst
description: intranet.3vst
IP addresss All Unassigned
Read + Run Scripts is checked

When I have to click on finish it tells me "Parameter is incorrect"

What am I doing wrong??

TIA
