Hi guys, anybody can help me with my messed up situation...

I have a windowsXp SP2 prof edition installed and upgraded using windows
update system.
When I try to open local standard page or other pages installed on local
IIS, it works well only if I use http://localhost address.
If I try using my netbios name like http://MyDevelopPC I can't open the page
and I receive "Cannot find server or DNS Error" message.
I verified my DNS using NSLOOKUP and it resolve correctly my netbios name.
I tried also using IP number but I receive same error message.
I inserted on host file a new record with netbios name and localhost IP
(127.0.0.1) but also in this way it doesn't work.

Can anybody help me with few suggestions... I no more ideeas...

Thank you
Erik

If you open the iis mmc,
right click on your "default web site",
choose properties,
what ip address dou you have on the "web site" tab ?

You have to publish your "Default Web Site"
only on the same ip address assigned to your nic.
