The web server bundled with Win2K Pro is really a cripple-ware version
of IIS5. It only allows you to configure one site, and will only accept
a few simultaneous connections at once. (The documentation says 10
concurrent connections, but the real world number seems to be 2 or 3).
Personally, I've found that the Win2K Pro version of IIS5 isn't the best
solution for development work, especially if you are running cfhttp
commands against your own machine - IIS will throw an access denied
error because too many users are accessing the site simultaneously.
Also - if you are working in a LAN environment with a few other people,
they may receive the same error denied error.
Another word to the wise ... IIS5 in Win2K Pro has ALL of the same
security issues as II5 for Win2K Server, thus you really should harden
your Win2K Pro as if it's an Internet server, if the machine is serving
up any requests that come from the Internet. At the very least, run
Win2K SP2 and unmap all of the extensions except for .cfm. You wouldn't
want to unknowingly become a DDoS zombie, or Red Worm victim.
Hope this helps.

It is still Personal Web Server, they just call it IIS.
If you goto the Add Remove Software Control Panel and click the Windows
Components Button on the left side you can add IIS.
It is basically PWS with a new name.
