Hey thanks a lot for this help.. I've spent like a week on this issue, but got no fix for my problem.. This worked like a charm.. thanks a ton again..

also helps!

It works perfect.Thanks for your help

In my case on C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file, I had to comment the line:
#:::1             localhost

and add the line:
127.0.0.1       localhost

Very cool, thanks!

Inveigled By Design » Silverlight Development: IE Cannot Display the web page

Thanks a bunch! This article probably saved my hours of searching )

Unfortunately this didn't work for me, hoping you have a suggestion.  My web site is on Vista Home Premium.  Unlike many of the people reporting this problem, I don't have Visual Studio Developer installed.  I checked my update history and I definitely did get the problem Windows Defender update.  My /etc/host file had both these lines:

127.0.0.1       localhost
::1             localhost

I added the third : to the second line and rebooted, but I still get the error.  

Here's the problem:  my site is a local test DotNetNuke site, which was just upgraded to version 4.9.5 (last stable version on the old code base).  I only get the error when I log in as superuser (host) and try to open any of the pages from which I could actually configure the thing!  The site is useless if I can't configure it.  The non-configuration pages all display correctly!  I've posted this at the DNN forum and got no response at all.  I will be grateful for any suggestions you may have.

You're genius.)

I've solved my problem, it wasn't the hosts file at all.  DNN 4.9.5 requires HTTPS for the admin pages - the first version to do so.  Once I got IIS configured to serve HTTPS to localhost, everything worked fine.

super!. Than'x so much. spend few hours trying to figure out myself, then some time on internet
till i go here.
