Local IIS cannot be accessed with IP Address 127.0.0.1

Hi,

Currently, I got into a strange issue. I have a PC with Windows XP Pro
and IIS installed with all latest patches. From the local PC, I can
always access the IIS with http://localhost/....

However, I always get an access denied error if I access the IIS with
http://127.0.0.1/...

This is consistent when I looked into the IIS Log,

#Fields: time c-ip cs-username s-ip cs-method cs-uri-stem sc-status sc-
win32-status cs-host
12:49:00 127.0.0.1 - 127.0.0.1 GET /iisstart.asp 302 0 localhost
.....
13:32:58 127.0.0.1 - 127.0.0.1 GET /localstart.asp 401 5 127.0.0.1


I got into this issue while I was troubleshooting Reporting Services
2005. I had the Reporting Services installed on the PC. I could access
it via Reporting Manager and create folders. However, I could not
deploy reports via Visual Studio 2005.

Please help.

Looks like a permissions issue. /localstart.asp 401. I would run Filemon
from Sysinternals to see what folder / files are getting denied.
