IIS 5.0 and Internet Explorer 6.0

When I test to verify web services are working the browser tries to connect
but never gets through. I believe it is because my computer name is office
and the browser is trying to connect to http://office ... something on the
Internet. Help suggests the browser maybe trying to go through proxy
settings; I tried to set it to bypass; not sure if I succeeded. Any help
would be appreciated.

If you have proxy then this is possible.
Try first by ip, not by name.
127.0.0.1 is localhost, this is loopback interface to your computer so try
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://127.0.0.1" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1</a>
If it succeed then there is really a name server problem.
Set where you have set your proxy in connection options in IE, "Do not use
proxy for..." and add there "office"
