IIS freezing after installing DSL

I have been using IIS under XP Pro to develop/test asp scripts locally.
This has performed with no problems for over two years. Recently, all
of my scripts timeout (nothing returned to the browser).

I've tried restarting IIS but receive an error message stating that it
could not be restarted in "a timely manner".

I've recently installed DSL (I previously had a dial-up connection) -
could this be a factor?

Any ideas?? Thank you.

it shouldnt be a factor. I mean these things are running local so it should
never even go out the NIC and would only be using the loopback adapter. Do
HTML pages serve up? Sounds like you may need to reinstall IIS.

Are there any relevant messages in the System or Application Event logs?

Did you install any antivirus or firewall software with your DSL line?
The symptom you are describing is often associated with "script blocking" by
security software. See http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2180

Do you think it's an ASP issue? If not, this is the wrong group. Try
the IIS group, where they'll tell you to try a HTML file, and if that
works it's an AV/Personal Firewall issue. If not it might be a
gateway, routing, name resolution, etc.

It was script blocking - I upgraded Norton when I installed the DSL and
forgot to turn it off!

Thanks to all who replied.
