I have Personal WEB Server running on computer with name "BIG". Personal WEB Manager gives "Your Home Page is avalable at http://big. When I'm running SampleAppWizard in InterDev, Step 2 asks me "What Server would you like to use for this WEB application?". I tried to type http://big, //big, big. Nothing works. "Unable to contact WEB Server" message occurs all the time. I'm very beginner with InterDev and WEB development. I appreciate any help which allows me to start learning. I have a lot of books and other materials, but so far couldn't find anything.
Thank you.

I used to get that same message on an NT server running IIS. I tried localhost, the machine name and the ip address - nothing worked. The server was either "busy" or "not found". I stopped using VID for that reason. It's too much of a pain in the a** to get to work.

IMHO,

Thanks. It doesn't work. but I found what was wrong - I did not have FrontPage Server Extentions installed. Now "big" works.
