XP Home does not have IIS. You can get XP Pro as an Academic version,
or a server version. You can also use the Server 2003 120 day trial
for your learning. You might also want to check with your school,
some have made volume licensing deals that get you academic version
licenses less expensively.
I won't comment about how lame any college that doesn't provide access
to the software needed for a course is. You should have received a
trial version or academic version as part of your textbooks, or at
least have it available on a school system.
