It's a group created after ASP.NET was created & registered. If you don't
have IIS installed on your machine the group is not likely to be there. If
you want ADO.NET to access SQL Server, you need to open SQL Server and grant
access for IIS_WPG in there.

I am working on two machines, on one I'm an admin, on the other a power
user. I have no experience with more restrictive users, so in case you can't
work try adding yourself to the power users group and see if that helps.

No. You can stop SQL Server.

I believe you have all Service Packs and bug fixes installed.
To the best of my knowledge, SQL Server is a Windows service. As such, when
it is stopped, it is not running at all and no ports are open. But ask this
question to nntp://microsoft.public.sqlserver.server newsgroup for a more
reliable answer.

If you want to develop & test on local machine, setting up the account as I
said in previous post should suffice. I haven't done remote debugging with
web apps, only windows forms, and to debug code remotely I needed an account
on the server that was in the Debuggers group. I do not have any articles
covering this subject. Try searching the newsgroup or MSDN for "remote IIS
debugging."
