Every four or five days the web site hoste on my machine will stop
responding to HTTP requests on port 80.

IIS doesn't crash so I cannot get an IIS State log, just this:

Does anyone have any ideas?

Looking up reasons for Connections_Refused, it indicates that something on
your machine has exhausted NonPagedPool memory (which is fixed and small on
an x86 machine). Please use a tool like POOLMON to determine what is
exhausting NonPagedPool memory on your system and address it. In the past, I
have seen antivirus programs, hardware monitors, ethernet controllers, etc
that have leaked this memory and causing HTTP.SYS to stop working like
this -- so the problem is obviously not with IIS6/HTTP.SYS...

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=820729

The reason there is no crash is obvious -- this is a defensive mechanism
against running out of memory (and crashing) if it did handle any
requests -- and so you are responsible for figuring out what is going wrong
and correcting it.

Now, if your system is actually operating normally, that means that you are
running applications that require more resources than your machine can
handle, so you need to consider buying a bigger machine to handle the load.
In that case, I suggest an x64 machine because it will not have the fixed
boundary on NonPagedPool.
