(Beginning Active Server Pages 2.0) which i purchased from amazon.com, telling me how good this book is ... but unfortunatly
my instructor went back to the USA and did not come back ?? ( i wonder Y ???? )... and now im stucked in a very silly

book...

and i got this name on my personal web manger ( http://ns2 )

and i want to know if i can change the name or not ,, and how can i do it ??  i changed the name in the (control panel/network/identification ) but it did not work ?? was that the wright way ?? .. and what do u mean by the machine name ??

-my big problem is i cant view an asp file after creating it using frontpage or notepad... i did exactly like mentiond in the book , and i faced the same prob;lem mentioned in page 29 ,,, every time i press on the file  (punctual.asp) front page opens ??

so i did like what was writtin , and i refrenced my URL to ( http://ns2/BegASP/punctual.asp ),, but this is what i always get ..

... please . how can i veiw the asp file i have created ?? yes i know my problem is very silly , but im just a student ,, and this is my first real step into this huge field ,,, and i strongly want to learn how to make  a nice interactive page in this   very hot very long summer vacation ............
