The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can't reach http://localhost

Asked by Nouareii in Microsoft IIS Web Server

Tags: localhost, iis

I'm using the ASP .NET Web Matrix Server for testing a page. But when I do and try to access http://localhost:8080 (technically, where the page should be displayed), my Browser gets stuck at "Connecting to localhost..." with 100% CPU use, and nothing happens.
The problem only arises when I'm online (ADSL requiring User and Password), and when I'm offline, it simply works flawlessly. As far as I know (or google told me), it's an IIS problem.
The computer is an Athlon 64 939 3000+ @ 2600mhz - 2*512 Corsair XMS - DFI nF4 Ultra-D, running Windows XP SP2 with every optional program installed (I mean, the ones that come with Windows), I'm using Sygate Personal Firewall and NOD32 (Antivirus). Also, I have Visual Studio 2005 Enterprise installed (Full instalation).
I have to add that this doesn't simply happens with Web Matrix, but also when trying to deploy a Dedicated Server for a game.

What I've been trying is:
* Check the HOSTS file for localhost. It's there.
* Deactivate both the Firewall and the Antivirus. Nothing changes.
* Reinstalling IIS. Nothing changes (I did this: Uninstall from Add/Remove Programs, Reset, Install, Reset, Try).
* Trying with 2 browsers (IE6 and Firefox 1.5). It's the same.
* There aren't any programs using ports 8080 or 80. I checked with netstat and Sygate.
* Changing the server ports (I'm using WebMatrix's Server). Nothing happens.
* Using http://127.0.0.1:8080 . Might sound strange, but it works.
