I have dot net running fine on my PC at work. It is Windows 2000. I can created and edit web applications fine.
However,I wanted to install it on my laptop and remove it form my pc. I have a Laptop running XP Pro.
I installed dot net and can run windows applications but when I try to create a web project, I get an error.

when im logged onto the local machine on my laptop I can create one fine but on my network it throws an error which suggests it is something to do with my rights to either my folders or IIS.
However, on my PC on my desk, it works fine on the network.

Can anyone help?

Here is a typical error message:

The default access mode for this project is set to file share but the folder at "http://localhost/WebApplication1! cannot be opened with the path "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication1". The error returned was:

Unable to create Web Project "WebApplication1". The File path "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication1" does not correspond to the URL "http://localhost/WebApplication1"/ The two need to map to the same server location. Http Error 404 Object not found.


Any help would be appreciated.

If the IIS is local then http://localhost/WebApp/ should work but if there is more than one IIS on the network you may want to set to http://ComputerName/WebApp/

If that doesnt help, make sure youre security permissions in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot are set to Edit/Create enabled on the Guests/Everyone accounts. This probably doesnt fit with the "Object Not Found" though.
 
Was IIS installed before or after the Framework?

Also, does this happen even if you create a new project/solution from scratch?
