The problem was actually the following:
Somehow ipv6 protocol got installed and when ipv6 is installed with ipv4
(microsoft's tcp/ip protocol is ipv4), your machine name and localhost
resolve to ::1: for an address instead of the ipv4 typical octet of
127.0.0.1. So when I was trying to connect through debug of visual
studio.net 2003 through ie 6.1 sp1 to iis 5.1 using ipv6, somewhere in that,
it resolved localhost to ::1: and failed to connect.
what let me find this was simply pinging localhost. That showed me
localhost resolving to an address of ::1:
then I looked at my network connection and it had ipv6 installed. I removed
that and things worked fine after that.
