I'm having problems connecting to IIS on my local machine, using the computer
name ("diane3" on this system):
http://localhost/test.html < this works>
http://diane3/test.html <this doesn't work any more>
IIS is running and correctly configured, from everything I can think to look
at. The IIS admin and world wide web publishing services are running, and
server-side scripts (.asp, .aspx, .php, and .csp) are all being processed
correctly through localhost. But on diane3, IE fails to find the server
(cannot find server or DNS error).
A few days ago, both worked fine. I installed the monthly MS service updates
on Wednesday, and installed MySQL today. The MySQL install does set up
something in TCP/IP; it sets up port 3306 for its own use, so I know it's
been updating something in the network configuration somewhere.
I do need to connect using the local machine name; I have Visual Studio
projects that are configured using "diane3" as the local machine name for
..NET development projects. I can't open these projects any more, due to this
problem, so "just use localhost" isn't an acceptable work-around. (error text
says "a connection to the server could not be established) Visual Studio
*can* access SQL Server (MSDE) and other info on "diane3" through the Server
Explorer tab.
Some things continue to work. "ping diane3" works. File sharing to diane3
from another local computer works. Remote desktop access from the same
machine to diane3 does *not* work.
System is running XP Pro SP2 with all current updates applied.
Any suggestions?
