I have installed IIS and created a test web page in my webfolder, but when i go to run it, I get the 404 Error.

If i look in IIS 5.0, i can opened it locally but when i try and use the \\localhost\etc.. extention, it fails

Why ?????

You'll find this addressed multiple times in this forum elsewhere, but try adding 'localhost' with IP address 127.0.0.1, under Web Identities, using the IIS Manager. Also add an entry to the HOSTS file (SYS32\DRIVERS\ETC). It should read '127.0.0.1 localhost'.
