MS KB article 816944 has more info. A likely suspect is Skype, since it will use port 80 if it's free. This is a tricky one, since IIS might work fine most of the time since it starts up before Skype, butif you stop and restart IISSkype sees port 80 is free and snakes it. 08ffe2740 for you! IIS-Resourceshas theanswer but not enough Google Juice. Here's the fix: SkypeFile-> Options -> ConnectionUncheck Use Port 80 as an alternative for incoming connections.Restart default website. 118 Comments Thanks, this one brought the light to my momentary darkness...
