Windows 2000 server/IIS problem I need some help/advice
This is a discussion about Windows 2000 server/IIS problem I need some help/advice in the Customization Tweaking category; Can someone tell me why I cannot get my ASP scripts to run? = Background Info = I recently installed Windows 2000 server and SP1 on the 2nd partition of my home PC. I closed the Configure Your Server dialog box because this OS is running on a standalone box and I have no need for all the network stuff.
Can someone tell me why I cannot get my ASP scripts to run?
======= Background Info =======
I recently installed Windows 2000 server and SP1 on the 2nd partition of my home PC. I closed the Configure Your Server dialog box because this OS is running on a standalone box and I have no need for all the network stuff. I just want to use Internet Information Server 5.0 to run and debug a few ASP scripts. So I did the following:
* Installed the Microsoft Loopback Adapter (this PC doesn't have a NIC card inside it)
* I setup TCP/IP (Control Panel/Dial-up Connections/Local Area Connection/Properties). In the dialog box I checked the "Use the following IP Address" radio button and set the IP addresess to 191.168.0.001 and the subnetmask to 255.255.255.000. Set the DNS Server address to 191.168.0.001 and left the Alternate DNS Server address blank.
* Tried bringing up a few ASP scripts at IIS 5.0's default web site (C:\InetPub\wwwroot) and got nada (The MSN search screen)
* Created a new website at IP addresess 191.168.0.001 and got nada (the Connect or Stay offline dialog box displays)
Can anyone tell me what if anything I forgot to do?

First, don't use any extra "0"s like that (191.168.1.001), just use what's needed (191.168.1.1). Next, use a more standard IP range such as 192.168.1.1 instead of 191.x.x.x (shouldn't make a difference, but it's good practice). Next, try using http://localhost or http://192.168.1.1 (no extra zeros) to get the page up. If that doesn't work, try entering the IP as a host header in the website properties and see if that works for you.
