Light -> Frame Relay & Win XP pro (2/7/2003 14:26:46)

Hi there, we have a frame relay connection with 4 static IP addresses, I wanted to know if is possible to run a website under win xp pro " server" with specific IP address? also is there any other router beside Cisco compatible with frame relay? thanks



Gil -> RE: Frame Relay & Win XP pro (2/7/2003 15:26:37)

There is no such thing as XP Pro Server - I assime you mean XP Pro w/IIS5.


Possible? Yes

A good idea? No.

IIS under XP is a " light" version of IIS and the XP OS is NOT a server OS. I' d say W2K Advanced Server is the way to go.

Also, you say frame relay, but don' t say what size? Assuming it' s less than T1, that will only be good for a few conncurrent visitors



Light -> RE: Frame Relay & Win XP pro (2/7/2003 16:44:35)

Thanks Gil for reply, how about intranet, can be run with win xp pro? thanks



Gil -> RE: Frame Relay & Win XP pro (2/7/2003 18:00:17)

Well, it " CAN" - but I can assure you you will spend more time tweaking it than if you use a server OS.

Why would you want to run server software on a workstation anyway?



Light -> RE: Frame Relay & Win XP pro (2/7/2003 22:18:38)

It is a server with dual CPU, but I think win 2000 server O/S is very expensive! by chance do you know how much will cost? thanks



Gil -> RE: Frame Relay & Win XP pro (2/7/2003 23:50:31)

$999 for server W/ 5 CALs
$3999 for advanced ser W/ 25 CALs

Or go with Linux for under $100 and Apache for free [:)]

If you have a low-traffic website W2K Pro or XP Pro are capable servers. However, there is a hard-coded 10 connection limit in the workstation version of IIS, and you are limited to a single website.



Light -> RE: Frame Relay & Win XP pro (2/9/2003 3:51:51)

Thanks guys, Doug G what you mean by " hard-coded 10 connections limit" that means only 10 connections at the time can be handle by the server?

How about Windows NT Workstation 4.0 this can be useful, also I can get a copy of windows 2000 server from my friend but I have no idea if I' m going to have problem with microsoft yes or no?

Yes

Yes, if you " get a copy of windows 2000 server from your friend" you surely should have problems with Microsoft :)



Light -> RE: Frame Relay & Win XP pro (2/9/2003 14:45:11)

Thanks Doug G for advise, and I guess windows NT workstation 4.0 is useless to use it as server O/S!



Doug G -> RE: Frame Relay & Win XP pro (2/9/2003 17:31:27)

Windows NT 4.0 with IIS4.0 installed has the same 10 connection limit. Besides the differences between IIS4 and IIS5, NTWS will perform as a web server in a similar manner to W2K Pro and XP Pro.

For any traffic volume you will need a server-class machine. Linux based servers are economical if you know how to set them up and don' t need asp or COM support.



Light -> RE: Frame Relay & Win XP pro (2/9/2003 23:24:20)

Thanks Doug G, so it' s better to have Win 2k server or Win 2k Advanced server?

Light -> RE: Frame Relay & Win XP pro (2/13/2003 1:34:05)

WOW caywind! you' re lucky man! where?



caywind -> RE: Frame Relay & Win XP pro (2/13/2003 14:22:09)

it' s called a " Computer Show and Fair" . kinda like a trade show. I don' t know where the software comes from (surplus?) but it' s fully registerable.

Sometimes it' s counterfeit. Once in a while it' s surplus. More likely, though, the version you' re getting is an academic or " not for resale" version, which have licenses that prevent you from using the software in a production environment.

There was a large bust out here in California not long ago nabbing over $100m of counterfeit software as I recall. It came from an asian country but according to the news reports was " high-quality" .
