Hi all

I am in the process of setting Visual Studio.net 2005 up on a new networked machine. Everything appears to have installed correctly, I have created a test application (hello world) that has a single page with the words "hello world".

My problems occur when I try to run the project, as per normal the project runs from http://localhost/testapp/default.aspx. However I am getting a page cannot be displayed error. If I change the address and replace localhost with either my machine name or 127.0.0.1, the page will run correctly.

Any suggestions on what I can do to solve this problem, one thing that I was considering was making a change to the virtual directory but I don't think that will work in this situation.

Comes up with msg "Pinging M-ODonnell.epa.ie..."

I then get the replies from 127.0.0.1...

Everything looks fine.
