Have IIS up and running from my Home pc. I can get to it from the office by
IP/page name. I want to just type in the IP and have the home page come up.
Is there a naming convention that I need to follow for it to come up without
being specified?
Thanks,
Steve

Hello,

Is this what you want to do:

You want to go to http://123.123.123.123/ and get the content of file
default.htm, as if you were using http://123.123.123.123/default.htm.

If my understanding is correct, then you can use any name of the file you
like, but it has to be in the "Default Document" list. By default, names
such as default.htm is in this list, but you can edit this list to include
your file name.

To edit this list, in IIS Manager, right click the website and click
Properties. Click on the Documents tab.

If i have not understood your problem, please tell me and i will try again.

Yes, you understand it correctly. I named it default.html. but can only get
to it by typeing in http://123.123.123.13/default.html.

I will check the Default Document list and see if it is there. Probably is
not.

Thank you
