Thanks Brad Sorry my question was so vague. I think I just wanted to know whether you needed to install anything extra on your webserver to enable it to handle WMS requests? Is WMS a protocol that requires something 'extra' running to be able to understand a request of that type? I don't think I quite understand WMS actually!
