IIS and NAV are fighting.. I think
 

I run IIS on my machine and up until now it's worked just fine. Last night, I installed Norton Antivirus 2004 on my system (yeah... I haven't run an antivirus on my computer in a while, but I don't have any viruses, so dont freak) and now I cannot access the site I run off IIS. It gives me a 403 error, citing too many connections. This cannot be true 'cause I'm the only one who access it and nothing else shows up on the log.

What sorta options/preferences should I look for?

Oh yeah.. even when I disable Auto-protect, it doesn't work

this might be it, http://forums.devshed.com/archive/t-69024
it seems that win2k has a users limit. it might be holding on to the connections.
other then that i would suggest running the windows port of apache on windows if you can still not get it running.

thanks.. that doesn't seem to be the issue because nothing seems to work.. sigh

I can't find the exact explanation in the millions of emails that I have -- but it sounds vaguely like a problem I had months back with the IRP Stack size being set to low - (Norton doesn't play nice with alot of applications)

Try boosing the IRP Stack and see if that helps.
the number should be between 4 and 12 - -i think 7 is often the default

Next thing - have you tried uninstalling NAV completely and does it work then?

If you have software that's dependant on IIs ( I assume asp, and .net would be), disregard this post.

You might want to look into one of the Apache/PHP/MySQL bundels available for Windows.
I do allot of work with PHP and have been using Apache2triad for quite a while now. It's great - gives me PHP, MySQL, MyPhpAdmin, SSI, CGI Perl, Mod Perl, Apache::ASP, Python Spyce. The greatest thing about it is I don't have to configure anything - Just install it.

It may not be a good choice for you depending on what you're running on IIs.

Just thought I'd let you know what else is out there in case you didn't.

the reason why I run IIS is because it is an ASP project. I use apache for my PHP stuff.

So far nothin's workin.. haven't uninstalled NAV yet.

norton has a feature called script blocking. i have heard that it blocks asp from running on iis. you might want to try turning script blocking off.
