I want to place a demo web site on XP computers; these computers may not be
connected to the Internet so I need a standalone web server. These
computers will have .NET 2.0 installed on XP Pro.
In the old days, folks used Microsofts "Personal Web Server".
What is the best solution for hosting a site standalone that may not have
IIS installed? Can Cassini be use
somehow?

The best solution is to learn to use XP Pro which comes with IIS. All you
have to do is learn to install and enable it. Then you can run your own
website on your LAN. For best results use the Default Web Site and rename
the XP Pro machine something really simple like XP1 so the web site can be
resolved using localhost mappings in the hosts file.
Then access the Default Web Site from anywhere on the LAN by typing XP1 (the
NetBIOS "Computer Name") into the address bar of a browser. The latest
releases of the browsers will append http:// protocol handler.

You need a webserver, obviously.
Since it is XP Pro, you can install IIS.
