how do i do this.....

Hi, I've just set up a network with a switch connected to a broadband modem, printer, and a few computers...
You know how you can type the ip address of your modem or printer into internet explorer and it comes up with a configuration page kind of thing... well i was wondering if i can do a similar thing with the computers connected to the network aswell... like, if i type in the ip address of one of the computers i am taken to some sort of page...

Can i do that?? and if i can.... how?!?!
i know how to make/design webpages with html and all that, but how do i make it so that it is what people see when they type in my ip address??

cheers for your time,
Paul

you need to set up a web server to serve those computer requesting your pages.
Look into apahce
www.apache.org
its free, and a huge % of web sites use it.

i had a look at the apache site, but its not very user friendly... do i need to download the http server project they have?

yes, and it should be quite user freindly. You have to read up on it a little
