Drew, Great, apparently it worked. I can ping my local host site and open pages. When I first tried the command it must have still been working in the background because the site still wouldn't come up. Thanks again.

Then use the iisreset command. The window closes when it is done doing it's thing, but if you did it from a command prompt window, you'll see everything it did. There are a few options with iisreset, you may be able to get them with a /? Anyhow, iisreset is supposed to be a last resort process. I just recently ran across it. The REALLY useful capability of iisreset, is that it WILL stop and restart the IIS server if you have code caught in a loop! (I've done that several times, and previously, my only option was to reboot the server, because starting and stopping the service didn't work. This command will restart it, usually in about 20 or 30 seconds!)

When I look in the task manager I don't see IIS as a running process. Previously when I tried to get to iis through the management console by opening iis.msc the management console would hang. I don't know what is going on. Maybe I need to uninstall IIS and do a reinstall.

I have IIS6 set up on my computer to test web applications before putting on our host's server. Today for some reason I installed two Microsoft patches; the cumulative patch for IE Q822925, and the Unchecked Buffer Patch in DirectX Q819696. After the install I went back to working on a site and found I couldn't open any pages on my local machine. Went to see if IIS had shut down and found it wasn't active so tried to start it back up. No luck; the management counsel hangs when I try to start IIS. I can't find anything on the knowledge base on this or in Google. Has anyone had this experience or heard of a problem like this? Thanks for your patience.
