Unable to access localhost websites?
|
|
|
| Greetings.
I've got IIS 5.1 and XP Professional Service Pack 2. I've disabled
Microsoft Firewall for all connections and even turned it off entirely.
Unfortunately, when attempting to access the websites on the localhost, I
can't reach the pages. I end up with a "Cannot find Server or DNS error"
message after a good five minutes of wait.
This result returns whether or not I attempt access using:
(computer name)/(site)
localhost/(site)
127.0.0.1/(site)
I am able to telnet to 127.0.0.1 port 80 and able to connect no problem.
I can stop and start the services as many times as I want, and it has no
effect.
The management console for IIS looks like everything is fine; the Default
Web Site has some pages in its tree and also has the application for other
websites. None of them work.
Can anyone please help me get this box working so I can have a development
environment locally?
Thank you in advance.

| Since you can connect to the server when using telnet, IIS seems to be
working.
Do you use a proxy? In Internet Explorer, please make sure that you bypass
local addresses.

I hope so. There is no logfile in the logfiles folder, which bothers me...
but for the moment, I suppose assuming it's working is valid.

Unfortunately, no proxy is used. In IE, I do not have the "Use a proxy
server for local addresses" checkbox marked, and there's no other proxy named
in the IE Options I can find.
FWIW, this is not limited to ASP only. A simple "Hello.html" file also does
not return either. There's just no connection at all; and no firewall in the
way either.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

| Since you can connect when using telnet, but not when using Internet
Explorer, there may be a setting in Internet Explorer that causes this
problem.
Have you tried to ask in the Internet Explorer newsgroup?

How about the actual IP of the system?
