Actually, win2k pro will give you glitches. IIS won't allow more than ten connections, and a web based connection DOES count.
Consider trying Apache on win2k pro instead. That's a MUCH better work around. I've seen win2k pro deny connections on a web server before for too many concurrent connections. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 4:35 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: win 2000 professional for web server? > > I am setting up a web server with CF 5.0 on a win2kpro > > box and I read in the CF 5.0 installation manual that > > win2kpro is not recommended because it only allows 10 > > concurrent TCP/IP connections.

You just can't support more than ten concurrent authenticated or SSL connections through the version of IIS that comes with Win2K Pro. I'm not 100% sure about this, though, and don't have a machine handy to test.
