Help Please: installation problem with IIS

Hello, I appreciate any help:

After I installed IIS 5.1 on my XP Pro. and when I opened it I realized the
'Default Web Site' in the Web Sites folder shows a red error icon, and when
I start the web site I get the error "Unexpected error 0x8ffe2740 occurred."

Thanks in advance.

That error means that something else is already using port 80 on the
server, so IIS is unable to grab it and start the Default Web Site. Port 80
is usually only used by web servers, so if you have any other web server
software installed it may be grabbing the port.

You can use a utility like Fport from www.foundstone.com, or Active Ports
from http://www.protect-me.com/freeware.html to see what executable is
making use of port 80 and where that executable is installed. Stopping the
other software should allow you to start the Default Web Site in IIS.

You can also open a command prompt and type the following to get a list of
ports that are in use and the application that is using each port:

netstat -ano

HTH,

Terry
