IIS & Local Host

Hi,

In developing IIS/ASP apps mostly using a single machine as local host, I'm
having to do things like disable script blocking in Norton AV and lowering
security settings in Zone Alarm Pro, etc. So I thought I would try
disconnecting this machine from the Internet while my guard is lowered, but
this causes IIS to not respond to browser requests (I get the "can't find
server" error). Is there a way to configure IIS so that it will work in
isolation from the Internet for development and testing purposes?

Thanks

Load the Microsoft Loopback Adapter as a NIC and you can run
disconnected. But you'll have to disable script blocking in
production, so I wouldn't see a problem doing it in development.
