Development Server for Dummies

[xstevex1]

I'm using Visual Studio.net for ASP.net development.
The problem is, I can't create any new projects on my development server.
I've run the Mscorcfg.msc, and I can copy project folders onto the server and
run them from within VS, but whenever I try to create a new project and set
the location path to the server, the OK button is grayed out. The only
available choice is "localhost:8080"

Please advise, and explin it to me as if I were a 4-year-old!
How do you set up a server for dot net development?

How do you set up a server for dot net development?

Do you have IIS running on your machine?

No, we are not allowed to have IIS on our local machines. Thus - the
development server. I had our web team load the Dot Net platform and SDK on
the server. I've got the platform and VS.net on my end. Now, how do I get
them to talk to each other?

Try location path as

http://servername/sharedfolder/projectname

Thanks! This is a step in the right direction. The "OK" button is now
available, and a new, empty folder is saved in the proper place on the
server.
However, . . . I'm getting a "http/1.1 500 Internal Server Error" message.
So, now, I guess my question is, is there something I need to tell the server
administrator, or is there a setting that's not right on my machine?

Thanks!
