Installed IIS on w2k pro, started Personal Web server and pointed the home
catalogue to the folder with my asp codes. However IE keeps saying that
http://localhost is not available without Internet connection. Such thing
often happend on other computers, but after several refresh it worked. How
shall I get rounf this now?

this sounds like an old problem.

--google the exact error message and I suspect you will find the answer.

--also post this to the IIS folks as they might know offhand...

microsoft.public.inetserver.iis

Why would you start PWS on a machine on which you've installed IIS?

A dim and distance memory tells me you may be able to install a loopback
adapter and that'll help.
