Hi there , i've just installed web matrix and trying to complete installation for DotNet Nuke, after installing successfully, i was given the url to connect to local host on the DNN site but I keep getting the error could not find localhost:**** on all browsers.. can you please help... I'm stumped ..  

p.s I am very new to web development. once I click on the url to go to the DNN site, it opens the default web browser and then...this message after a while....     "The connection has timed out The server at www.localhost.com is taking too long to respond. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web."        Thanx

Thank you for your reply,

 When I launch web matrix and load a site from 'mysites' i get a notification in the bottom left of the screen
that reads.....  "The following site has started successfully: 'fluidtest'."..... fluidtest is the name i gave the site

 When I click on the url for the site a web browser launches but I cannot see any IIS icons or any indication that its running  and as stated before i get the error message for that url

Thanking you in advance.

place a test.html file in the root of the web site and check, whether it gets displayed properly. do the same f or a test.aspx file
