Scott,
To ensure that IIS is running open a command session (Start>Run>"cmd" typed
at the run prompt) then type "IISRESET" at the command prompt. This will
stop and restart the server at the end of the restart it should display the
following line "internet servieces successfully restarted"
As far as IIS using port 80, this is the default unless you specifically
change it this is the port your on. It can be verified under
Start>ControlPanel>Administrative Tools>Internet Information Services then
select the Default Web Site under Web Sites. Right click the Default Web
Site and select Properties. On the Properties dialog select the Web Site
tab. The top section of this tab is titled Web Site Identification, at the
bottom of this section is the TCP Port. As stated above it should show 80.
Next, ensuring port 80 is not blocked by a fire wall on your server. I
cannot walk you through this as it is differnet for each type of firewall.
however it's usually not too complicated. There is an easy test to verify
that this is in fact the problem. Turn the fire wall completly off and test
your access from the client. If this works then turn your fire wall back
on, if you lose connectivity from the client then you know this is the
problem and it is worth the time to figure out how to open port 80.
There is no issue with the location of the flie store being on your
C:/drive. Can you explain what you mean when you say "My server is set to
localserver." are you refering to the login dialog box?

Thanks for the reply, Ross. I really do appreciate it. Anyway, here is
what I have so far. Oh, by the way, I'll be using Vault 5 with Civil 3D. I
have the ADMS installed on my C:/ drive. My server is set to localserver.
I have the IIS installed, how do I check to see if it's started and port 80
is open. I recently installed Civil 3D and Vault Explorer on a separate
computer. I didn't set the server yet(local or remote). Does it matter
that the vault file store is on my c: drive when I ping.
Sorry for all the questions, this is my first attempt at installing vault
and my biggest fear is screwing something up. Thanks again for all the
help.
