I am running IIS 5.1 on Windows XP. The IIS used to work and I am puzzled
as to why it is no longer serving pages. I know that the service is
listening on port 80 and that a connection can be made to the server. I
have tried both asp and htm pages and neither are sent. The browser can
find the website but cannot receive the pages in response. I have
reinstalled the IIS server and still the problem persists. I have tried to
connect locally and from other machines.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks,
Daran

Are you using ZoneAlarm ? If so have you recently upgraded to version
5 ? There have been reported problems with ZA and IIS :

No. I really don't know what the problem could be. Pages simply are not
sent to the browser.

So the browser window stays totally blank, even with a "Hello World!"
HTML file, and nothing is registered in the event log or the web log,
whether you browse by name or by IP and whether or not you specify a
file or just the root URL, correct?

That is correct. I have found this issue on two other web forums but no
solution. I think in both cases they were forced to reformat their hard
drive. Here is one:

I have even repaired the operating system and still IIS does not work.

It seems my only option is to reformat my hard drive. :(

Have you done the following?
- Run: NET START W3SVC -- and it should report that IIS is running
- Run NETSTAT -ANO -- and see if anything is listening on 0.0.0.0:80
- If you are using an ISP for internet access, make sure they are not
blocking port 80 access (some ISPs change your browser to go through their
proxy servers, which block port 80, and so even though you give "localhost",
it still fails).
- If you are running Security/Anti-virus software, make sure they are not
blocking port 80.
- Finally, make a request to port 80 for a request and see if it is logged
in %SYSTEMROOT%\LogFiles\W3SVC1\*.log -- if the request is not in the log
file, then IIS never got the request, so something external to IIS is
blocking access, and you'll need to figure it out.

There are MANY, MANY ways to prevent access to port 80, not all of them
obvious. And reformatting may not fix them all -- for example, if your ISP
blocks port 80 and forces you to go through their proxy for internet access,
you still can't access port 80 even after you reformat and reinstall their
software.

Okay, I'll try again:

<exasperation>
What friggin' problem?
</exasperation>

When you try to access your web site, it doesn't display. Same for
the poster in the forum you linked to. Same for the guy who doesn't
actually have a website, and the guy who does but has an ISP blocking
port 80, and the nice lady across the room from them that has an ASP
page that loops endlessly, and the kid downstairs that has a perfectly
working Hello World! HTML page but happened to set the text color to
white on a white background.

Which is your specific problem?

Show us the log file entry for the web site and prove that nothing <
