You need to download apache. IIS is not licensed for XP home.

Hi,
The IIS webserver is a feature of Windows XP Professional, it is also not
possible to use IIS or PWS on home edition. You can use a 3rd party server
such as apache (http://httpd.apache.org) but that does not have native asp
support. Brinkster do offer free asp enabled webspace, you could create
pages and upload to their server http://www.brinkster.com

Hope that helps
Mark

IIS is not included in XP Home and PWS will not work. You have several
choices:

Upgrade to XP Pro which does include IIS5.1 (limited to a single website
(multiple subwebs) and 10 simultaneous connections, a connection being
anything from a page to an image)....and does support FrontPage extensions

Use the Apache webserver (www.apache.org) which does NOT support FrontPage
extensions

Upgrade to Windows2003 Server edition with IIS6.0 if you need the
functionality of FrontPage extensions, multiple websites and unlimited
connections.
