Minimum Requirements to support Web Services on Win XP Pro

I've only found information that says IIS6 based Web Services require Windows
Server 2003. I hope that's not the case.

Can I install IIS 6.0 on Windows XP Pro and have a valid WebServices host?

If so ...

Does this configuration include the ASMX mapping and necessary "engine"
underneath?

Will I be able to connect to SQLServer 2000 running on another computer?

What's missing if I run on XP Pro vs. Server 2003?

it is true. IIS6 runs on WS2003, only. So to get web services running on
iis6, you need ws2003.

Can I install IIS 6.0 on Windows XP Pro and have a valid WebServices host?
no. it is not possible to install IIS 6.0 on Windows XP Pro.

but you can install IIS 5.1 on WinXP Pro and have a valid ASMX host. google
around for it. it's a typical config for developers and is fully supported.

Will I be able to connect to SQLServer 2000 running on another computer?
yes, with IIS5.1 and .NET 1.1 on WinXP, you will be able to do this.

What's missing if I run on XP Pro vs. Server 2003?

IIS 6.0 delivers a much more robust server-oriented process model. IIS 5.1
lacks this.
also, WinXP isn't licensed for high concurrency. I think 5 or 10 concurrent
connections. WS2003 can support thousands of connections. lots of other
differences, too.
