Since the Web and FTP services don't start, it sounds like IIS has become corrupted. The best I can suggest is to reinstall the software, and then to re-apply the latest service packs and hotfixes. Good luck.

Suddenly, my VAIO notebook running PWS 5.0 w/Win2000 cannot 'find
itself' - when opening up IIS Admin I get Error 3, Cannot Find System
Specified (shows correct peer/computer name though). Selecting
Action|Connect and typing in computer name also fails. I checked both
Action|hosts
and lmhost files, tinkered w/both, but still no results. W3SVC (and
FTPSVC) services also do not start - get same error message - checked
LM/ entries in registry; verified metabase.bin; everything checks out.
Technet & event viewer redirect to MS site useless. How can I fix this?
Help! Thank you!
