Cannot Find Server - sudden failure

[qkestryi]

CF MX7 / IIS / XP Pro / Local server 127.0.0.1 / DSL to Internet (which
obviously works)
ColdFusion has been running fine for weeks. Last night I shut down the
machine, I rebooted this morning and whenever I try to load a page in IE I get
"Cannot find server or DNS error". FireFox fails also.

Here is what has been done:

1. IIS will process an html page and display it
2. It throws the error on any CF page even "<cfdump var="#CGI#">" ONLY per
Tech Note
3. I uninstalled CF, cleaned out entries for CF in registry, rebooted,
rebooted and re-installed. After exe install the jump to the Admin for
configuration fails with the error.
4. Turned firewall off, no change.
5. Ran complete virus scan, clean
6. Ran AdAware - it removed a "possible browser hijack attempt". Rebooted, no
change

I am completely stumped! Any ideas of what it is or how to fix it?

It could be a web server connector issue.
One option is to try and remove the connector and add it again.
1.Run the cf_root\bin\connectors\Remove_ALL_connectors.bat to completely
remove all existing IIS configurations.
2.Run the cf_root\bin\connectors\IIS_connectors.bat to properly configure all
sites (existing and new).

Another option is to remove ColdFusion, reinstall it to the Built-In web
server, then run the wsconfig connector utility.

Thanks for the info! I got the local server running, but still cannot get IIS
to work with it. Unless someone has any other ideas, I am just going to stay
working with the built-in server.

Thanks again.
