Trouble with ASP.NET on Vista IIS.

[detasat]

I have installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 , trial version and I am running it on VISTA SP1. The IIS server is up and running: I am able
to run .php files and .asp files.

In the C# tab , I am choosing File->New -> Project -> .NET Web Application.

As I run a standard empty project, the result should be a blank page , but I receive in my browser the following error: Connection Timeout, Firefox cannot establish a connection with the server localhostort.
It appears that Microsoft Visual Studio cannot find the page, named default.aspx.

I tried manualy writing default.aspx in the browser address tab , but it gives me the same error.

I have checked in Programs and Features and the .NET Framework is installed.

What can I do to make the website work through .NET?
I will check any comments from you and give you the insight about any details concerning my system.

I am in college and I just started a course on programming in ASP.NET so I urgently need yo make it running.
Thank you in advance!

Try creating a new WebSite instead of a web application.

Try using IE instead of FF.

VS to run and debug you are better off using IE.
Else in order to debug with FF you need to Run the site from VS and then attach the FF process.

Righ now I would just use IE, and get that working first.

If you simply created a new website using VS2008 then I suspect that the site is attempting to run on it's internal "Cassini" web server (basically opens private ports for your app). If you go to the property pages of the project then you can verify this.

You can change this to use IIS if you want to. Also, in Windows 7, not sure about Vista, in order to develop websites using IIS7 you need to launch VS2008 as an administrator.
