1. World wide web publishing service is running
2. no proxy sever is not enabled in IE
3. Yes I use Mcafee antivirus and Mcafee Personal Firewall
4. http://127.0.0.1 does not work I can ping that address from a cmd prompt
on my computer
5. I do not think it does just one network adapter is installed

Any other ideas

I also installed a lot of security fixes yesterday could that be a problem?
I did have the antivirus and firewall installed and IIS was working.
Here is what installed
Update for Office 2003 French GRammer Checker KB873381
Office 2003 Service Pack 1
Security Update for Office XP Wordperfect Converter KB873379
Hotfixes
KB885884
KB885836
KB885835
KB873339
KB834707
KB886185
KB890175

Any thoughts?
Tom
