SOS: Windows 2003 Service not available

[iosoft]

I am facing a problem with my Windows 2003 Server PC.

Everyone can ping to the server and vice-versa.

But HTTP (IIS) FTP etc. services are not accessible !!

No Firewall....

From the PC, if I browse http:// localhost is OK, but if the give http://ip_of_Server, it doesn't access !!

 

[shotgun]

whats the result of

http://127.0.0.1

if this works and with IP it doesnt, then go to IIS Manager,
check Which IP Address is default web site "bind" to.
it should be either (All Unassigned) or the IP Address you are typing.
hope it helps

 

[iosoft]

if I do this then I loose both http:/localhost and http:/server_ip

can u mention the error shown in ur browser ?
are you running any other program which is using port 80 ?
disable friendly messeges
on command prompt type

netstat -an

one of the TCP entries should be listening on port 80 with IP address of the server

 

[iosoft]

FireFox : Unable to connect

IE : The page cannot be displayed

 

[shotgun]

does this happen even when the web site is bound to "ALl Unassigned" IP addresses ?

 

[iosoft]

strange, there is no such entry by netstat

neither 127.0.0.1:80 nor 192.168.1.226:80

 

[shotgun]

most probably it would be 0.0.0.0 :80
is there any firewall on the machine ?
if yes, check the scope

 

[iosoft]

just now done a port scan...

If I use 127.0.0.1 then I can see all the ports.

but none if I use it own ip address.

no firewall installed nor any filter, not even the lan property.

who is blocking ?

if it is not critical, try doing a remove/add IIS from add/remove programs
somehow, it seems, IIS is not able to bind to that ip address
i am assuming you are doing all this on a single PC.

can u check if c:windows\system32\logfiles shows any entries that point to the error ?
