I haven't used Visual Interdev in some time, and now when I try to workon a web site there I cannot get "localhost" to respond. If I try to create a new project, when I specify localhost as the server, I get the message "Unable to contact web server http://localhost". If I try to open a file in an existing project, I get the message "Unable to open web project.... The server localhost timed out.

I am able to ping localhost, so that's not the problem. Any ideas?

Thanks

Nevermind! I found out the problem was a known bug in Zone Alarm (version 5) software. I reverted to a prior version and all is fine!

Hope this might help someone else...

Hello,

I had that problem too with Visual Studio .NET 2003. The only solution I found is to shut it down.
