Hi,

As far as I know, the service runs on Windows 2000.
It runs on WinXP, too, but IIS on WinXP has some limitations in the number of connections that can be opened, and we've seen situations when the connectiosn remain open more than needed until you run out of them, and we've also seen some strange behavior when using https on port 80. Therefore XP is not a recommended platform and that's probably what the setup document tried to communicate.

Yes it works on Windows 2000. However, if you are using VSS Beta 2, you may have to configure Remote Access manually.
I'd also recommend installing IIS before installing VSS on the Windows 2000 machine.

Thanks, Alin and Roman Golovin!
My plan is to install VSS on a Windows 2000 Server. My workstation is WinXP and I did some tests on this sometimes.
Yes, I did install ISS before VSS.
Do you mean Internet Web Services Acess by "Remote Access"? I've finally make Internet Web Services Acess to work in LAN. Next I'll try to use SSL and access it remotely.
Thanks!

Hi,

Yes, Roman meant "SourceSafe Internet" by "remote access", and that with Beta2 you may need to do manually the settings that otherwise should have been available in VSS Admin in Server/Configure/SourceSafe Internet dialog.

How do I manually configure "SourceSafe Internet"? Is there a document that lists what needs to be done? Is it just creating a virtual directory in IIS, DNS, IP, ASP.Net, etc...? Or is there anything else?
