NT Web Server using WebSite problem

[TMGB]

I don't think PDC or standalone is your problem unless it is specific to
O'Reilly's WebSite.  I'm running Netscape Enterprise Server off a DEC ALPHA NT
server set up as a PDC.  You may want to try another web server software or
even just a telnet daemon to see if it is software specific.  Can't tell you
what your problem is but I do think you can count out the PDC vs Standalone
unless there is another NT server set up as the PDC on your campus.
