IIS World Wide Web Publishing service Error 87 Invalid parameter

Guest

I am running XP pro with SP2. I cannot get IIS running on this machine. It
was running and now it is not. I have uninstalled/reintsalled the IIS
component, and I try to start the default web site from inetmgr, and get a
message the service did not respond. I try to start the World Wide Web
Publishing service manually and get: Error 87 Invalid parameter. Any ideas?

Your service might be trying to open a port, and the firewall from SP2 is in the way.

Another possibility is that your winsock is damaged:
the netsh command in SP2 can rebuild your Winsock. Open the command prompt and type: netsh winsock reset , then press ENTER.
