Re: How do you set up http://localhost?

at a command prompt or at the run dialog box, run inetmgr (internet service
manager)
find your default website, and pull up the property pages. examine the path
for the virtual directory. this path maps to local host. for instance, it
may map to c:\inetpub\wwwroot by default. next, examine the quickstart
folder in inetmgr, it should be configured as a virtual directory. if it
isn't you will need to turn it into a virtual directory. then your link
should work
