After I tried to uncheck it on the web browser filter list (I'm also using ESET smart security), I still has the same error. I use Visual Studio 2005 on Vista. Before I tried this approach, I had installed IIS 7.0 and 6.0. and, nothing helped. So, any idea?
This condition is exactly what I'm having right now, but somehow I can't solve it the way you did. Is it because I just installed .net 3.5 ? I doubt it that is the problem.
I am using "Eset smart security 3.0.669.0" in both my laptop and desktop computers. They both have the same problem. The laptop had the problem even after formatting and only installing vista ultimate, visual studio 2008, MS office and ESET SS.
Bunkai's solution didn't work for me. But after adding '#' before "::1 localhost" "in hosts" file, it worked. Is ESET SS putting that string in the host file?
I spend nearly 2 days to solve this problem and formatting my laptop didn't worked.
Whatever, thank you all for this post! Have a nice day..
Can someone explain what does 'adding "#" before "::1 localhost" in /.../.../host' do (other than to comment that line, why do we need to make this line to be commented)? is there any (bad) effect for this change?
I also solved the problem with deleting "::1 localhost".
off topic:
I wanna thank Microsoft for putting that line there.
I also wana than Microsoft for building Vista® in such way that I needed to log in as Administrator to change this "hosts" file, or anything else in windows folder even if my account belongs to the Administrators group,
Thank you for putting beautiful default font in Vista® which need hawks vision to distinguish comma from dot.
Thank you for occupying 23.5GB of my hard drive with "Windows" folder (Vista® x64 all updates applied).
Thank you for making this forum without visible possibility of replaying on topic itself rather than replaying on other users posts.
Thank you for all.
I love you guys, you are making my life, with one full time and two part time jobs, so much better.
Could someone plaese explain how to remove this line??
Ik really don't know how to do this
You need proper permissions. Locate your Notepad.exe and right click it and chose "Run as Administrator." Supply password if needed. Then, in Notepad, chose File --> Open and then browse your way to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc and open the "hosts" file.
Make sure you select "All Files (*.*)" Add # to the line in question and save the file. Perhaps you have to reboot your system.
Hi, Also please note that Vista has IPV6 which have some problems with the Web server that VS2008 uses. try opening your page after you disable Ipv6 for Vista. Thanks, Thani
I had the same problem. And I looked at the hosts file.
The problem is not the ::1 for IPV6, but the missing 127.0.0.1 localhost entry.
Correct hosts must look like this in Vista:
# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
One of the updates yesterday must have deleted the first line at my system.
Thank you very much.
I had this same problem, and it has to be a security update from Microsoft that removed this, because it worked before the weekend, and now suddenly it didn't .
Adding the line 127.0.0.1 localhost in the hosts file located in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\"
did the trick for me, and I don't have the NOD antivirus that seems to be the case for most replies in this thread.

This worked for me on Win Vista Business 32bit.

I Had the same problem running on Vista.
My solution was removing the next line in the windows host file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
::1 localhost
This is an IpV6 entry. Put a # in front of it.
*Quote*
In the hosts file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Get rid of the ::1 and replace it with 127.0.0.1
The line in the HOSTS file should look like this...
127.0.0.1 localhost
Worked for me... Good luck
