depends on what operatingsystem he runs... but Apache is a good webserver, and can be runned on most systems.. and it's free...

then you have the built in webserver under Windows. PWS in Win95/98, is found on the installation CD, but it does have limited functionality. IIS under WinNT/2000/XP, also located on the installation CD.
