.ASP file cannot be found in EI

[mrkyn]

I am using Win 2000 Professional. I am getting "The page cannot be displayed" when I try to display my ASP pages. Here is what I am typing in the address bar:

http://localhost/nocat/Default.asp.

It was OK before. All of a suddent it stoped displaying. Any help?
Thaks.

first of all, make sure that IIS is running, sometimes it stops suddently. Or just restart it.
next, try

http://127.0.0.1/nocat/default.asp

instead of localhost.

Thanks for responses. I did what GaryC123 adviced. I think IIS is srtopped. In Console Menu I opened iis.msc. I have: Default FTP Site(Stopped), Default Web Site(Stopped), Default SMTP Virtual Server(Stopped). My attempts to start all three were unsuccessful. I got message: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. There are a lot of service control manager errors event 7023 in Windows Event Viewer. Any ideas? Thanks for all your help.

I checked in Control Panel/Administrative Tools/ Services. The status of IIS is started. I stopped it, and started again. No change.

do you have a firewall running?

sometimes, just reboot the system will fix the problem.

Yes, I have McAfee firewall 2004 running. I stopped it and tried to run ASP files. The same: Not found. I have tried to reboot. I reinstalled IIS. The same situation.

onpnt, you gave me an idea to check my firewall. IIS was blocked. Now it is OK. Thanks guys.
