I'm having fits getting IIS to work on WinXP Pro. I go through the setup
routine without a problem. First, the default website is not running. I have
to change the port to 8080 and restart the server. Then the default site
will start. However, I still cannot access any files via browser with
http://localhost/. I get a page cannot be displayed error. When I go into
Control Panel> Admin> IIS, I get the following structure...

Internet Information Services
-- Home (local computer)
------ home
------------ IISHelp
------------ etc
------------ etc
------------ etc

I'm running WinXP Pro with all the updates
Norton AntiVirus
SQL Server 2000 Developers Edition

1) What am I doing wrong?
2) Should I be able to access files with http://localhost/ or should I use
http://home/ ?
thanks!
