mike55 Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 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. Mike55.

mike55 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Posted October 18, 2007 Comes up with msg "Pinging M-ODonnell.epa.ie..." I then get the replies from 127.0.0.1... Everything looks fine. Mike55.

mike55 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) Could it have anything to do with localhost loopback? I am after following all the steps outlined in Steve Schofield's msg: http://weblogs.asp.net/steveschofield/archive/2007/03/17/localhost-connection-issues-list.aspx. Also found out that we are using a proxy, therefore I have selected the checkbox "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" and also I have added the localhost address in as an exception. Mike55.
