Hello, I am trying to access

http://localhost, http://127.0.0.1 or http://server_name/localstart.asp on

Win2K Family Server OS with IIS 5 but cannot.



When I type in the address bar:

http://localhost, I get the dialogue box:

"Connect" or "stay offline", I click --> connect,



Then I get a dialogue box:

"Work offline" or "try again", I click --> work offline



Then I get are two web pages:

http://localhost/localhost.asp and

http://localhost/iishelp/iis/misc/default.asp



When I type http://my_server_name, I get the same dialogue boxes and the

same pages with "my_server_name" instead of "localhost".



When I type http://127.0.0, although I get the same dialog boxes and respond

the same way, nothing happens.



Also, I created a virtual directory and created a simple asp page exactly as

described in an ASP book, but it doesn't work, and I cannot view this page.

I am not quite sure what is the problem, but it is obvious that there is

one.



This Win2K OS is on a second HD of my hp computer. On my other HD I have

WinXP that is connected to the Internet via cables. But here using Win2K I

cannot connect to the Internet from some reason. I might not have a Network

card. Also I don't have sounds or music on this OS (Win2K), and so probably

don't have a sound card. How do I get these cards? Is there anything else I

need to buy beside the Win2K OS? Can I download it? Is there any connection

to not being able to view the localhost web page?



Thanks for any responses, Ilan.
