"Localhost" isn't a service. "

IIS = Internet Information Services.

Sounds like a service to me.

I used to make use of it when I was on XP Pro, and wanted to make sure that W7 HP is enabled as well.

Found out meanwhile, thanks to Yaaser.

Thanks anyway.

"Localhost" isn't a service. It's a DNS name assigned to the IP

address 127.0.0.1, and equates to the local computer, itself. It's

built into the TCP/IP networking protocol for testing purposes. If you

have the TCP/IP protocol installed and enabled, you have the

"localhost." Test it by opening a command line window and typing "ping

127.0.0.1" or "ping localhost."

Is there some specific problem you're trying to resolve?
