IIS 6 - can't 'browse' to webs from within iis6

hopefully i can complete the puzzle.......

In IIS Manager, SERVER, Web sites.....

Right click any of five web sites, click browse, 'Cannot find server or DNS
error'

Use IE, enter correct URL, web site works fine.

Am running ISA in Cache only mode on the iis server

Hope this helps

turn off friendly error messages in your browser and post
back the real error. Cannot find server is a general
error.

refer to: <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.iisfaq.com/?View=A405" target="_blank">http://www.iisfaq.com/?View=A405</a>

Also, look in your browser settings and see if you are
using a proxy or not. Go to tools, options, connections,
lan settings...uncheck everything.

Thanks Doug - tried al of that and no difference. Just to re-emphasise,
everything is fine in the browser on 'Server'. In iis manager on 'Server', I
can't browse to the home page of the web. Unchecking Show HTTP Friendly
Error Messages makes no difference to the error shown iis.
