localhost

[Bernard]

I installed IIS, In a LAN environment, for a work
station. localhost does not work! when i do ping IP
address from command line, I can see reply from work
startion BUT when I put IP address in address bar, there
is no respond! what is the different between them? I just
need a hint to solve this problem. As we use proxy
server, even I changed IE configuration to bypass proxy
server, but still there is no reply from http://localhost.
any idea?

Thnaks for you help,
Bernard.

Is IIS service running? In command line enter:

net start w3svc and click ENTER

Try again to reach your web site using IE...

Thanks for reply. IIS service is running and i tried net
start, but localhost still does not work.

How about the site that you want to access (Default Web Site?) is it
running? What if you instead if http://localhost enter IP of your computer
in URL path (e.g. http://10.10.10.10)?
