I have a w2000 server, running sql2000 and IIS5. If i connect to it remotely to administer it (using internet service manager) its fine, i can administer it and do everything you would expect. It is also running a web application almost perfectly (there is a small problem with it) which i can access via Internet Explorer.

If I load up IIS.msc on the server itself (logged in as domain admin) it wont let me connect to the local host and tells me:

&quot; Error connecting to <server>:
The system cannot find the path specified
Do you wish to continue to attempt to connect to it in the future?&quot;

The same thing happens if once your into the console you try to conenct to it. However, from the server i can connect to other IIS servers across the network!

I colleage of mine has tried an uninstall & reinstall in an attempt to fix it but it to no avail.

Anybody else come across this before?
