Can't Connect To server

Hello,

When you say "start IIS", what exactly do you start? The IIS snap-in? The
IISAdmin service? The WWW Publishing Service?

Try to start the IISAdmin Service and WWW Publishing Service manually from
the Services snap-in. Works? If not, is this the error message you get:

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=116&source=W3SVC" target="_blank">http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=116&source=W3SVC</a>

If so, you have a corrupt metabase.

In that case, i would uninstall IIS, delete the metabase.bin file, and
install IIS. It should then work again.

You can also try:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;234429" target="_blank">http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;234429</a>

Might work, not sure.

Hope this helps!

I assumed that it was this error message you got:
"The system cannot find the path specified"

But since you did not write the complete error message, all i have written
here is only guesses. Try to include the complete error message next time!
Thanks!
