VS2010/Windows 7 -> can't connect to ASP.NET Development Server

asp.net, visual-studio-2010, webdev.webserver

Solution

ok, figured out how to fix it: For some reason my hosts file had "127.0.0.1 localhost" commented, so I'm assuming WebDev server tried to bind to localhost but it couldn't resolve to the 127.0.0.1 address. After I uncommented that line and restarted VS, the WebDev server works fine

Problem

I have a clean installation of Windows 7 with VS2010 RTM and am trying to get the ASP.NET Development Server to work. When I run the project, the WebDev server starts and shows that it's listening on port x on localhost. I've tried: - `telnet` to the port. The port is not listening. - running `netstat -o` shows that the WebDev server is in fact not listening on any port. - manually changing the WebDev port to a different port and restarted VS without effect. I have Windows Firewall turned off entirely and am not running any other firewall software either. Any idea what could be going on here? Thanks!
