The "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error occurs when there is a trouble in the networking between the webserver and the client computer. The "strange" part in yiur case is that you said Vs 2005 is fine.
thus you probably have no matter with the first three attempt I would make:
1)check localhost settings (ie: see http://blogs.msdn.com/webdevtools/ar...s-working.aspx and http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/...t-display.aspx )
you might have to add Localhost to the trusted site (you can add a trusted site in IE via the Tools -> Internet Options -> Security tab)

2) check firewall
3)check antivirus (ie: see http://forums.asp.net/t/1235447.aspx)

but you more probably might have one of the following matter:

4)check if metabase is corrupted (if you have IIs, and your site is there, a quick way is remove site, restart iis, recreate the site)

5)check user used by net has sufficient privileges (under 2008, it could be a different one than in 2005 , and there are also some issues Os related ie: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/...s/Default.aspx)
