I currently host a site on an internal network via Front Page's Personal Web Server. Does anyone see a problem with about 30 people accessing the site at the same time?

What's your machine spec? Is the machine a dedicated server, or are you running other programs or processes on it too? What kind of pages does the server deliver? Any DB content?

I don't know if this is configurable but my PWS hangs when more than about 12 persons access it.

I would doubt that PWS would be able to support 30 simusers. Certainly it wil depend also on what kind of pages they are. If you are using a database like Access, you are already limited to about 20 simusers.

I used PWS for a while but had heaps of problems so switched to phpdev
apache/php/mysql bundle, runs off line (or on if so configured)
