Hi guys,

Wonder if you could help me with the following scenario..

Currently, I have VS2005 install on a dev machine (Vista Biz), with several
projects in development. All projects use the built in SQL Server Express a
database engine, all code/database files etc are located on the local machine
hard drive.

At the moment, I have IE7 and Firefox installed on the dev machine.

However, I want to test to multiple browsers to make sure my sites are
cross-browser/accessible... namely IE6/7, Safari, Firefox and Opera on a
combination of PC, Mac and Linux. My solution for the testing platform is a
Mac Mini running Parallels with several "virtual machines" (for want of a
better term!).. xp/IE6, vista/IE7, Linux/Lynx/Mosaic/Mozilla, and of course
Firefox, Safari and Opera natively on OS X. Seems like an elegant (and space
saving!) solution.

The problem I have is getting any of the other machines on my network to
"see" the development server on my Vista Biz machine. Is there something I
need to allow to enable other machines on my network to see it?

The only other thing I can think of is using my Win2k3 server with IIS6. The
problem here is that VS won't let you add databases, etc when the "root
directory" of a website is on a shared drive. :(

Thanks for any light you can shed!

Dan
