I've recently activated IIS on my system (Dell GX270 Optiplex/2.8 GHz/512MB RAM, 80 GB HDD/USB x 8/Win2K Pro), and it seems to work OK...until I try to open my home page, when I receive a message "Failure to connect to server". Going to the Personal Web Manager screen, clicking on "IIS Topics", and I get the same message.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled IIS, but the problem persists. My I-net works OK (simultaneously)

I have a high-speed satellite (400-500 kb downlink, 56kb uplink) modem/transmitter/receiver set-up hanging off a USB. Could this be causing some problem?

I've contacted their wonderful service group to see if they have any input, but have received the same response that I get from McSoft -- silence. Lucky for them their billing/accounting department is functional. (FYI, for those wondering, it is DirecWay, and I rate them only slightly above dialup.)

Can anybody give a suggestion?

Thanks -- Dnd
