Turn off friendly error messages and post the entire error. Also, try http://yourmachinename - http://yourmachinename . Do you have a default page set? What kind of page are your trying to display? If .asp, will it display a .html page? -------------

| I turn it off already but still the same error mesg. I also tried http://mymachinename - http://[mymachinename ]. I just hope my .asp works. Could it be the location of my webpub? I have two drive. One is C: and the other one F:. My inetpub/webpub is in F:. |

try to create a virtual directory and access it. i.e. http://localhost/directory - http://localhost/directory or http://127.0.0.1/directory - http://127.0.0.1/directory

When you install, make sure you do all steps correctly. I'm not sure what OS you are running, but borg has a few tutorials to follow to make sure you are taking the correct steps... http://www.webwiz.net/asp/tutorials/installing_iis_winXP_pro.asp - http://www.webwiz.net/asp/tutorials/installing_iis_win XP_pro.asp http://www.webwiz.net/asp/tutorials/installing_iis_win2k.asp - http://www.webwiz.net/asp/tutorials/installing_iis_win 2k.asp http://www.webwiz.net/asp/tutorials/installing_pws_win98.asp - http://www.webwiz.net/asp/tutorials/installing_pws_win 98.asp |

| It works well after I re-install my os. Now, the inetpub thing is in c: instead of F:. But, I found that it's a little slow but I still can survive with it at the moment. |
