I had a problem accessing web sites in ASP.NET using VS 2005. When I launched an ASP.NET web site, from Visual Studio or from my browser, I got a 403 (Forbidden) Error. SOLUTION: The problem stems from the fact that IIS 5.1 does not recognize ASP.NET default pages, since it predates ASP.NET. To fix the problem, open the IIS Administrative Tool (Windows XP Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services). Navigate to the Default Web Site in the tree in the left pane. Right-click the Default Web Site and select Properties from the context menu. When the Default Web Site Properties box opens, select the Documents tab. Add the following to the list: Default.aspx index.aspx Click OK to save the additions. You should no longer get a 403 error.Thanks to David Veeneman Foresight Systems
