VS.NET 2005 Beta 1 - This tip might save you pulling your hair out!
So I was all geeked up to start playing with VS.NET 2005 Beta 1.... Not so fast there bud...
I start Studio up, create a new web site and enter some text on the Default.aspx page. I then start the app.
BANG! I am presented with the Page cannot be displayed error. After disabling the friendly error messages in IE I determine that I am getting the following error: [code=CANT_CONNECT_LOOPBACK] Cannot connect due to potential loopback problems
After a bit of searching around I find out that I can do the following to correct the problem:
1. In Internet Explorer, choose Tools->Internet Options.
2. Click the Connections tab.
3. Click the LAN Settings button.
4. Uncheck the "Automatically detect settings" box, click OK and then click OK.
Now everything works fine! Go figure???
Can anyone explain to me what is going on here? Has anyone else experienced something similar?
