Wireless Modem Router: Unable to connect to Web Site on IIS 6.0

Unable to connect to Web Site on IIS 6.0
I need to connect to my website using IIS 6.0 (for vista) which I downloaded recently from Microsoft website. But it gives different message everytime i try to connect to the web site and these are as follows:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

I am not running Windows firewall. I am running another firewall software. I tested it will allowing everything and still same problem.

Type netstat -an -p tcp and see if you can find 0.0.0.0:80. If not, type net start w3svc,if it displays anything then It's definately not a DNS/firewall issue. My guess is something in IIS has gone awry.

To start the process open in the IIS snap-in from; Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Internet Services Manager or Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Internet Services Manager. Have you tried turning off "Show friendly error messages" in IE and see what the actual error returned from the server is?

To specify the host names that are mapped to the loopback address and can connect to Web sites on your computer, follow these steps:.
Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key:
Quote:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0
Right-click MSV1_0, point to New, and then click Multi-String Value.
Type BackConnectionHostNames, and then press ENTER.
Right-click BackConnectionHostNames, and then click Modify.
In the Value data box, type the host name or the host names for the sites that are on the local computer, and then click OK.
Quit Registry Editor, and then restart the IISAdmin service.
