Hi,

I have just done a clean install of visual studio 2008 standard on vista. upon setting up a new asp.net website and running it to make sure everything is ok, i get the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" , also if i goto website > asp.net configuration i get the same "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"

does anyone know why the integrated web server isnt ddisplaying the webpage? , am i missing a setting some where? and yes i have checked that the integrated web server is running.

thank you,
Steve

just a quick update on this, i have discover that the problem is with my AV software blocking connections to the Visual Studio ASP.NET Server

Strange. I've never seen the issue. It normally works out of the box.

Maybe you're running some kind of firewall that blocks connections to it?

Also, it would be helpful to have a more descriptive error message than "cannot display the page".

Edit: oops. looks like you got it solved. So much for opening 50 different tabs and answering them later.

My solution was removing the next line in the windows host file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts



This is an IpV6 entry. Put a # in front of it.
