uh, yeah. Anti-Virus makes sense. Feeling a little sheepish right now...

No, I'm not running any other servers. I am trying to get .NET 2.0 up. Works fine except that it calls admin pages via localhost/... all the time, so none of the admin pages work. And visual studio puts the code I am working on into a browser prefaced with localhost.

But mainly it just pisses me off cuz I should be able to figure this out. I really do appreciate your help!

when i run the netstat command i am having trouble interpreting what i see. To me it looks like it isn't listening at all.

Can you tell me what I should be looking for? I ran it with the -b switch, also, but I still don't understand exactly what I am looking at. Sorry to be dense.
