IIS Stopped Responding
Discussion
My development box is refusing to show pages at http://localhost/ all of a sudden.
I can't think of any changes that I've made to cause this.
I can't stop the WWW Publishing Service and I can't start up the IIS Manager.
Any ideas on how to investigate the cause? Another afternoon being wasted here

Win2K system. Haven't installed anything recently.
Nope, not Norton - behaves the same way even with that turned off.
Rebooted, went to test some new stuff and IE just hangs. Visual Studio can't communicate with IIS either.
Tried restarting the services and it can't shut down the WWW Publishing Service.

Have you zapped your hosts file by mistake? You need a 127.0.0.1 entry for it to work properly? Found under winntsystem32driversetc
Will it work on the machines IP address instead of localhost?
Can you ping 127.0.0.1 i.e. is the IP stack loaded and working correctly?
In Internet options, have you unflagged "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" by mistake? (Assuming you're using a proxy server)
Or, in Internet Options, have you got "Use automatic settings" to detect a proxy?
Thats all I can think of right now

All is correct and I can't access it via http://127.0.0.1/ either
couple of other things to check...
a)does the ISUSER_machinename account still exist and has it got access to the root area? account SIDs can get corrupted
b)as asked above can you get to the machines website from another machine on the network?
c)I presume IE on this machine can see other websites OK (i.e. its not IE pi$$ing about)
d)you say you can't stop the service, have you got the kill dos utility to kill the inetinfo.exe process
e)also have you got handle.exe, this can tell you what other processes and files are being used by inetinfo.exe
f) have you had a look in event log to see if anything unusual appears?
