My host is ASP.Net "ready".

Other than creating some .aspx pages in Dreamweaver (I'm using ASP.Net for Dummies to get started with this), what do I have to do to be able to see any of my test pages when I type in the URL?

Also, what must I do on the server side to be able to run a simple survey in ASP.Net and see the results?

Forgive my lack of experience in this. :confused:

In order to run an asp.net application, you will need to have IIS installed on your computer. Find a reference for configuring IIS. Once you have that completed, you will likely have folders like:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ on your system. Create a folder called test or some other meaningful name. Configure IIS to point to that folder or the wwwroot folder. Then, in internet explorer, type: http://localhost

If it gives you an error, take a look at security for that folder. Right click ->Properties->Security. Make sure asp.net user is configured with access. Also give IUSR_<MACHINE NAME> access as well.

This should get you going.

No prob.

Also, you will need your asp.net project in the folder you created under wwwroot.
