You are using Visual studio? I don't think VS can do ASP, certainly my VS2008 can't. Or did you mean ASP.NET? First, make sure you know whether you want to use ASP or ASP.NET, then I would recommend that you try making an ultra-simple "hello world" page with notepad, put it on the wwwroot directory and see if you can browse to it like this: http://localhost/helloworldpage.asp (or .aspx if you are using ASP.NET). Going through those basic trouble-shooting steps will eliminate a lot of the possible errors. After you try that, let me know if you still have problems.

hello jared,
thanks for your response, but i finally gave up and installed vs2005. this solved all the problems!
i lost almost a full day of potential working time trying to get this thing working. the frustration was too much for me. however, im not very happy with this solution, im still looking for a better solution. any inputs will be welcome.

ja, sry, im talking about asp.net.
the webserver was running.i've put some files in the wwwroot folder, i tried with .aspx and .html and everything goes as expected, but vs2003 could not connect to the server.

regards

front page extensions configured on iis?
I'm using asp.net and vs2008 and I love it... I was previously using asp classic on vs6

I never write classic ASP in anything but notepad, and I still use notepad half the time when I am just writing .NET web services. The rest of my projects I switch back and forth between VS and VWD, both 2008 editions. There are still things I feel I need to switch to "notepad mode" to fix or troubleshoot, maybe that means I'm a relic.

Anyway, glad you got it solved, sorry you lost some time. Feel free to come back here for any other questions.
