Unable to connect to ASP.Net Development Server issue

Question

I am debugging codeplex simple project. I am using

• VSTS 2008
• C#
• Windows Vista x86 Enterprise.

I have not modified any code

Answer 1

Could be a number of things...try these (check the last one first)...

• Disable IPv6
• Make sure there isnt an edit in the hosts file for localhost
• Check firewall/virus settings to allow connections to/from devenv.exe
• If you can preview in the browser make sure the URL in the browser uses the same port number as the port number shown in the ASP.NET dev server taskbar icon.
• Try setting a fixed, predefined port in project properties

I got these from a couple of forums elsewhere, hopefully they can help. Good luck. Let us know what works and some more about your environment (firewall, anti virus etc) can help as well.
