newbie q: "contacting server to create web project" runs forever

hi, I'm using vstudio 2002, trying to create an C# asp web project, when I select these for a new project it says contacting server to create web project and never quits even after 1.5 hours. I saw in a similar post elsewhere they said the solution is to disable the firewalls - and I did that - and I have norton only, so that is not the issue. IIS is installed as well as SQL server, I can see it running. I have tested successfully a sql connection not long ago using access. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi,

It seems the problem is that the VS does not find your local server.
(Reason my be, you have changed your machin IP somtime after Installing the VS)

Check the server name on new project dialog box and if needed change
it to localhost or the IP address of your system.

|||Did you ever get an answer to this? I have what looks like the identical problem.
