I have had "issues" with IIS on XP, similiarly for some reason, it just quit
responding/sploded/went down the toilet.

I don't know why this happens....but I have figured out how to get it to the
point where you can at least uninstall iis.

Open services, disable iis service and ALL related services... SMTP, FTP,
etc.

Reboot.

I have given up on iis on XP because it's too squirlly. Personally, I think
it has something to do with the FTP service. But I can't confirm that.

Have you tried:

Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings ->
Uncheck everything.

Using the IP:

http://{IP_Address}/

looking at the event viewer and posting the relevant messages?

one question...where/how do you get to event viewer?
everything on I-Options is unchecked...
