Hi dypers
I have been into the IIS control panel and checked that the default web site is running and it is.
My machimes name is home1, as mentioned earlier i have tried various combinations of localhost, the website name on its own, and the machines IP address.
I have now tried the 127.0.0.1 address and i still get the same result "The page cannot be displayed"
I have even gone as far as to switch on the indexing server. but this makes no difference.
i have now uninstalled IIS rebooted Reinstalled it again and gone through the Web Wiz ISS guide but still no joy.

Try this and make sure you do it exactly as stated below:
- Insert the Windows XP Professional CD-Rom into your CD-Rom Drive (if you have the i386 folder on the c drive you don't need the cd)
- From your Start Button, go to Settings, and Control Panel
- In the Control Panel window select Add/Remove Programs
- In the Add/Remove window select Add/Remove Windows Components
- In the Wizard window check Internet Information Services, click OK
- An Inetpub folder will be created on your harddrive
- Open the Inetpub folder, and find a folder named wwwroot
- Create a new folder, like "MyWeb", under wwwroot.
- Use a text editor to write some ASP code, save the file as "test1.asp" in the "MyWeb" folder
- Make sure your Web server is running - its status can be checked by going into the Control Panel, then Administrative Tools, and double-click the "IIS Manager" icon
- Open your browser and type in "http://localhost/MyWeb/test1.asp", to view your first ASP page
let us know how it goes, good luck.

Hi
Nice to see i'n not the only one who uses w3schools!!
I followed your instructions to the letter and even installed ISS on a clean machine and tried it there but.... yes you guessed... "The page cannot be displayed.
Keep the ideas coming I'll try anything once ... within reason!

a personal firewall could also be blocking you so you may want to check that. also check to see if the server is using port 80

You might have to check the Hosts file too.
Go to Start >> My Computer >> C:\ ((or whatever your local drive is) >> WINDOWS >> System32 >> drivers >> etc >> right-click on Hosts and select open >> from the list, select NotePad.
When the Hosts file opens up, check at the end of it to see that the following is mentioned:
127.0.0.1 localhost

Guys
Thanks for sticking with this one!
Scotty 32:
Followed your link and uncheck the option - On refresh I get web site found ... waiting for reply and then i get a blank page with a red egg timer and the word done. I can't click on it to retrieve any messages as my mouse pointer turns to an egg timer when i mouse over!
ctscott:
I am running a McAfee firewall which i have now temporarily disabled with no change in the outcome.
I have checked the default web site in IIS and it is running on default TCP Port 80.
Info Tech:
I've checked the Host file and it reads as per your message.
I've also pinged the loopback IP address 127.0.0.1 and "localhost" and it works both ways.
keep the thoughts coming guys, if I'm ever to get up and running with ASP then you're my best chance of getting there.

If all the above didn't solve the problem then I'd advise you to format your hard drive and re-install windows and then re-install IIS.
