A "virtual server?" What you need is a web server. XP Pro comes with one
(IIS). Check out Add/Remove Windows Components.

Have you installed IIS and the FP server extensions? BTW, you can't test
the forms to email on the XP machine, as it requires the smtp server on the
host server.

Thank you for the help. I was able to publish the site to http://localhost.
However, when I submitted a post using the discussion form I got a blank page
at http://localhost/_vti_bin/shtml.dll/disc1_post.htm. Previously I tried to
FTP the files to the real host. Could that have caused a problem? I can
simply delete the discussion forms pages and create new ones if that would
help.

Whenever you want to use FrontPage server extensions in your web site, DO

I'm not sure what you mean by running a "health check" on the server
extensions however I did "recalculate hyperlinks" which is suppose to repair
links, update FP based components. I then republished the site to localhost
and tried the discussion form again, but got the same blank page. So I am
still looking for help on this.

Ask your Host or ISP, they usually have to reinstall the server extensions.
Or they might provide you with a tool with your hosting account that
installs them through a web/browser based interface that you can use.

Recalculate Hyperlinks does exactly what it says. Has nothing to do with
the server extensions and getting them to function correctly, you need to
contact your host support to get them to reinstall the extensions, or use
the tool that is possibly part of your account, through a web based
interface (there may or may not be such a thing - I don't know - some ISPs
or 'free' hosts eg Geocities have such a thing I believe.).

I am not trying to test the page live, online, on the internet, with my ISP
server. I am trying to test the discussion form on my local computer, after I
have published it to /localhost to see how it will look live. I think this is
suppose to be do able, but I am getting a blank page. Is this not do able. If
not what is the purpose of having IIS?

I almost hate to ask this, but are you sure you're using an http:// URL to
browse the new local server? I mean something like

Jim, a fair question. I published to http://localhost. So the page is
http://localhost/disc1_post.htm. Is that right?

In code view, look for broken tags (without the closing >, or without
the closing </script> if a script tag, etc. ) , particularly in the
head section of the page.
Does the View Source of the blank page reveal anything?
The Discussion web will work correctly under IIS on Windows XP Pro.
