This issue can occur if the default Web site on this server is using the wrong network adapter Internet protocol (IP) address.

To resolve this issue:

2. In the left pane, expand your server.
3. Right-click Default Web Site in the right pane, and then click Properties.
4. Click the Web Site tab, and then click Advanced.
5. Verify that the IP address is set to the proper network adapter address.
   
   If the address is pointing to the wrong adapter, click the IP address, and then click Edit.

   If you are not sure what the correct address is, click All Unassigned instead of the specific IP Address.
