Relative Links and Microsoft IIS not working, why?

Question

I've searched high and low for the solution to this problem
and no one seems to give a definite answer.
I have a typical home server set up using Microsoft IIS on
Windows 2000 as a test server for websites.
The typical folder structure of the IIS is Inetpub >
wwwroot > content
Since I am working on multiple websites at a single time I
place my websites as such Inetpub > wwwroot > websiteFolder1
with multiple websites under wwwroot
Now I setup the dreamweaver sites with the root directory as
websiteFolder1 but when I go to use relative links, dreamweaver is
looking at the wwwroot level instead and the relative links won't
work. So incase that seems hard to understand when I have a css
file that is in Inetpub > wwwroot > websiteFolder1 >
library and I want to relatively link to it, dreamweaver is instead
of seeing websiteFolder1 as the main, it is starting with wwwroot
and that makes the file not found.
How do I get the relative links to see the folder under
wwwroot as the root directory instead of wwwroot?
Thanks Much!

Answer 1

You would have to set up virtual sites in your IIS
installation. Google
that term, and I'm sure you will find lots....
