Beginner's guide to Server Advanced - wot do you do after installing?!

So I'm having a bit of a play and I seem to have reached an impasse. Can anyone point me in the right direction for some reading material or give me a step by step guide?

I have an old computer (PC running windows XP) which has been set up to be a web server. I've installed filemaker server advanced and filemaker pro itself. Both version 7. In the process, I also had to install Internet Information Services.

My question is, now what?!

I've tried looking through the Filemaker folder on the C: drive but I can't see anything obvious to play with. I've read the readme, but it doesn't really say what you do next.

I thought maybe if I've installed filemaker itself, I can go to sharing and turn something on. I tried doing the instant web publishing (had to change the port because of a conflict) but it didn't work. And besides, I thought server advanced was different.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks

OK so the computer I'm playing with has filemaker pro, server and server advanced. I've also checked that the filemaker services are all started.

But my question is now what? I've looked in all the help info and searching for server advanced info just brings up things like "to share more complicated databases, use server advanced" or something equally helpful!

Can anyone give me or point me in the direction of an overview of the concepts? Or give me a hint as to what to do next?

Thanks
