vb.net standard edition can't find local server

[rrcn]

Hi,
Im using xp home edition with vb.net standard edition. I am trying to use front page extensions, but when I try to begin a new net project I get the following error message.

"Unable to create web project WebApplication1. Could not find a web server at localhost on port 80. Please check to make sure that the web server name is valid and your proxy settings are set correctly. If you are sure that everything is correct, the web server may be temporarily out of service."

Can anyone help?

XP home edition does not have a webserver.

front page extensions are supposed to provide that, they are installed.

Front Page extensions are extensions to the IIS webserver. If you only have XP Home, you dont have IIS. Youll have to do without ASP.NET Im afraid.

On the other hand, you could try out Web Matrix, Microsofts free ASP.NET IDE. It comes with its own "lite" web browser that supports ASP.NET.
