Hi
As a (fairly new) ASP.NET programmer. Is it practical (desirable) to install IIS (version 6) locally on my PC (Windows XP) as I am running into problems when the application is deployed to a web server and I think it is an authentication issue.
Thanks
Paul

I think you should start by describing the authentication issue and give the experts here the opportunity to suggest what to do.

I don't understand how "LocalHost" is relevant; it is just a symbolic way of refering to the computer. There is not actually a server of any kind in it unless you install IIS or some other server software separate from Windows. Note that Visual Studio installs a server for development purposes.
