Discussion groups like this one are very helpful in pinning down problems
and solutions. Occasionally, however, a unique topic will be raised that is
unrelated and merits a discussion group and forum of its own. To this end I
wanted to set up NNTP on my personal computer to handle such occasional
topics unrelated.

Although I had IIs 5.1 (WinXP Pro) running the NNTP protocol is not
included. Rather than use IIS 5.0 (Win2K) I upgraded to Server 2003 IIs 6.0.

All I want to do is use the NNTP protocol and possibly a copy of the web
page I had running under IIS 5.1. I've seen a reference to a migration tool
but since NNTP was not available under IIs 5.1 there is no migration
reference.

Is there a step by step setup guide for NNTP or what is the simplest way to
setup NNTP under Server 2003?

No wonder everyone has started migrating to Linux.

You will need a Server OS. like w2k or w2k3 to host NNTP discussion group.
Refer
How To Set Up and Configure an NNTP Virtual Server in Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=308162

and there are no migration tool for IIS NNTP.

Okay I have a copy of w2k3 server.

Forget migrating anything. All I want to do is to set up an Internet
accessable discussion group via NNTP under IIs 6.0 with logon and password
requirement and IP filter capability. Can I do this using Server 2003 alone?

Yes, with IIS 6, you can have a basic NNTP server.
