### Install a Web Server

To make it easier to set up a workgroup that uses your organization’s intranet or the World Wide Web, Microsoft Project comes with Microsoft Personal Web Server for Windows 95 (which is included on the Microsoft Project for Windows CD only, not on disk).

The web server can reside on any computer. For convenience, you might want to install it on your computer. Remember, though, the computer that has the web server will need to be running any time a workgroup member needs to use the TeamInbox. That computer also needs to be connected to the Internet if workgroup members use the Internet to access the web server.

There is no need to install a web server if one of your workgroup computers is running Windows NT Server 4.0 or later. By default, Windows NT Server 4.0 has an activated web server, the Internet Information Server (IIS). The URL for the web server incorporates the network identification of the computer on which the web server resides. For instance, if the computer has its network identification set to be WorkgroupManager, then the URL for the web server on that computer would be as follows:

http://workgroupmanager/

If the web server is running Windows 95, you can install Microsoft Personal Web Server.
