MS InterDev doesn't see localhost

I am running Win2k sp2 and have MS Visual Studio 6.0 sp4. I want to do some developement work with ASP and databases, so I have IIS 5.0 and SQL Server 7.0 running as well. When I browse my computer, using either "localhost" or "machinename.ISP.net", it finds the simple default web page I created. The problem comes when I try to use MS InterDev to create a new web project. It asks for the server, only the pull down is empty. If I manually type "localhost", it says it can't locate local server. I have tried variations on the machine name that work via the web browser, but nothing I have tried has allowed me to create a new web project. So, what have I missed? Something simple, I hope... *grin*
 
Never mind. I (finally!) figured it out. I didn't have the Frontpage server extensions configured on IIS 5.0. Everything is happy now.
