  Configuring IIS 6.0 to work remotely with Visual Studio .NET 2005 Reply Contact I recently setup a new win2003 box as an application server.  I am unable to create a new web site or open an existing web page from a remote machine (same network) within Visual Studio 2005.  I have ASP.NET and FrontPage Extensions enabled and I think I have all the correct permissions set.  However, whenever I attempt to create or open a web site w/in VS I get the error "Unable to create the Web 'http://xxxx'. Service Unavailable".  Is there a faq out there that describes how to setup IIS to work w/ VS2005 remotely?  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks,   Tom

I might have renamed mine to avoid confusion ... try Microsoft SharePoint Administration.
