RE: localhost will not browse to website.



Hmmm....yes, my 127.0.0.1 ping responds as does yours...maybe I am looking
at the wrong thing here? Why in the heck can I reach this site in IIS and not
my browser? I have Windows Server 2003 configured and running with MSSQL 2005
but I can't for the life of me get my XP box to access this site. I need
localhost to debug in VB.Net
