Testing http://localhost opens my msn login window

  •  I just installed SQL Server 2000 on my laptop with Windows XP Pro.

    I then installed IIS through Windows Components.

    When I try to test my localhost in my IE browser,

    it opens my msn login page with my hotmail address and denies me access.

    H-E-L-P !!!!

     

  • I just found out that when I disconnect my laptop from the internet,

    my http://localhost works fine.

    Any ideas?

  • Thanks folks. I just found out how to fix it:

    I opened port 80 through my firewall and the problem is fixed.
