Hi,
Host headers is used when you have 2 or more web sites with differnet
domain names that are using the same IP address. I assume that your box only
has 1 IP address assigned so this would be the way forward. Within each
website properties you can set the home directory - this is where you point
it to different locations for it's files.
Take a look at the following - while they are not specifically for XP the
configuration steps are the same:
IIS 6.0 - 324287 HOW TO: Use Host Header Names to Configure Multiple Web
Sites in Internet Information Services 6.0
or
IIS 5.0 - 308163 How To Use Host Header Names to Configure Multiple Web
Sites in Internet Information Services 5.0
Hope that helps,
Cheers
