This problem really sucks and the docs are really bad. Here are the
three things I found which solved the problem for me [IIS 5.1 (XP
Pro)]:

A. IE
====

1 - Fire up IE browser
2 - go to Tools Menu
3 - Select Internet Options
4 - In the Internet Options dialog box, click the Connections tab
5 - In that tab, click on the LAN Settings button
6 - The LAN Settings dialog box will come up

Then, UNCHECK the 'Automatically Detect Settings' Checkbox.

**You must also check the "Bypass proxy server for local addresses
Checkbox!!

If you get a HTTP Error 403: Access denied, try:

B. IIS Default Web Site
================

1 - Control Panel
2 - Administrative Tools
3 - Computer Management
4 - Services And Applications
5 - Internet Information Services
6 - Default Web Site
7 - Right click -> Properties -> Home Directory
8 - Just under "Local Path", click on: Script Source Access, Read

C. IIS Needs ASP.NET
================

If you re-install ISS, you need to also re-install the ASP.NET (1.1)
extensions.

try this

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspne t_regiis -i


Hope that this helps someone else!!

Hi group,
I'm not sure if here's the right subgroup to post my
question but just figure to give it a try. Anyway, When
I open a new ASP .NET Application project from VS.NET,
I had window showed 'Web Access Failed' with following
error msg:

The default web access mode for this project is set to
file share, but the project folder at
'http://localhost/Spikeshop' cannot be opened
with the path 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Spikeshop'.

Unable to create Web project 'Spikeshop'. The file path
'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Spikeshop' does not correspond to
the URL 'http://localhost/Spikeshop'. The two need to
map to the same server location.

I'm using XP Pro w/ SP1, .NET FrameWork 1.1, v1.0.3705.
Any ideas?

I suggest you post this question in the ASP.NET or VisualStudio.NET
newsgroups, this one is for webservices.

Try to create a virtual directory directory name as
Spikeshop and point it to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Spikeshop
