The default installation of Internet Information Server contains sample files that you can use to test the functionality of your Internet Information Server World Wide Web (WWW) service.
1. Ensure your computer has an active connection to your intranet and that name resolution is working properly.
2. Start Microsoft Internet Service Manager and use it to verify that the WWW service is running.
3. In Internet Explorer, click Open on the File menu and type the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for the home directory of your new server.
The URL is http:// followed by the NetBIOS name of your server. For example, if your server is called Myserver you type
http://myserver
A sample HTML page appears. If it does not, try the full path to access the samples page, for example
http://myserver/samples
