Just type the Servername and applicationpath for your new webapplication

To create a WebApplictaion you MUST BE LOGGED ON WITH AN
ACCOUNT THAT IS IN THE GROUP "VS DEVELOPERS" (created by VS.NET setup).
So that is a problem if ya don't run a domain. What you can do is to create
a VirtualDirectory manually on the server and then connect to it with
VS.NET.
But there are a few other problems that you'll have to deal with.
"You can only debug ASP.NET if you are Administrator or own the SEDebug
Privileg."
This points to the domain issue again and you have to install
RemoteComponents of
VS.NET on the server to...
I surgest, no i advise you to develop on localhost, after you finished copy
things to the server.
If you work in a team use VisualSourcSafe, CSV or something else to share a
project.
You can also create a script that gets the current version of your projects
out of the SourcSafe
database and copies them to your webserver every day...

Just rename the VirtualDirectory, rename the *.csproj and edit the *.csproj
and *.csproj.webinfo to fix the paths
Hope this helps
