Problem creating web application in Visual Studio .Net

Hi all,

I am having problem creating web application using Visual
Studio .Net. I encountered the following error:

Unable to create Web project 'WebApp1'. Unable to validate
that the file path 'C:\Inetpub\www root\WebApp1' matches
the URL path 'http://localhost/WebApp1'. A connection with
the server could not be established.

Platform: Windows 2000 workstation (SP2)
Visual Studio .Net (Enterprise)
(with FrontPage Server Extension and Internet
Information Services installed).

I suspect that the problem is due to the way Internet
Information Services is configured. But I don't know where
to start.

I would appreciate if someone can give some pointers.

Thanks
