I am not able to debug either a 1.1 or a 2.0 app since changing the ASPNET user password. At least that is the last thing I remember doing before I was unable to debug.
I am getting this error in VWD 2005 Express
Unable to start debugging on the web server. An authentication error occurred while communicating with the web server
In Visual Basic.net 2003 i get:
Error while trying to run project. Unable to start debugging on the web server.

Thanks. That was it, I had removed the keep alives because in test i was only allowed 10 connections and while testing it seemed to run out and i read to remove keep alives which fixed that problem which it did.
I will do a better job of documenting the changes i make.
I’m using VS2008 SP1 and IIS6 on Win2K3 SP2 get the error message “unable to start debugging on the web server. an authentication error occurred …” even though the integrated security option was set. It turns out in this case that debugging a site that required
host headers caused this error message. Debugging the project using the default IIS site with no host headers resolved the issue. Regards, Malcolm

Hi EricMonti,
Whether you have tried resetting the IIS by execute iisreset?
If iisreset not work, please delete the ASPNET account and then run aspnet_regiis -i
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k6h9cz8h(VS.80).aspx
If you are using IIS 6 please ensure Enable HTTP Keep-Alives.

Hi,
I've just moved to windows Vista and I have the same problem.
I cant find where to enable the HTTP Keep-alives on the IIS 7.
Maybe it's another prolem? What should i do?

I am having similar problems but none of the above seem to help.
My machine is a WinXP VM
Is there some other setting I need to set?
