Any Ideas on this message "the format of the specified
network name is invalid" while attempting to start the
default web page? On a new install of two 2003 servers in
a cluster... This is accompanied by the following events:

The IP of the second server is 192.168.100.2 and it is
running ISA so it is necessary to use port 7999. But even
without ISA installed and using port 80 I received this
error.

Thanks for any help the tech docs came up short on this...

Hello,

Sounds like something is already listening on the port on the very same IP.

Try to run
netstat -ano
to find out what is listening on port 7999

Please find the solution of the Error which is happening while attempting to start the default webpage/websites in IIS 6.0.
1.Make sure that the ListenOnlyList sub key contains valid IP addresses in Registry. If the ListenOnlyList sub key contains an IP address that is not valid, you must remove the IP address or change the ListenOnlyList sub key entries to reflect a valid IP address.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters\ListenOnlyList
2.in order to stop and restart the HTTP service, you need to do this from the command prompt:
net stop http /y
net start w3svc

Thanks
