I can't get my child portal to load in visual studio 2005. They work in IIS but not VS.

Default portal: localhost:1109/portal/   works fine

try to go to demo child portal: localhost:1109/portal/demo

I end with the following on the address bar and the default web site showing?

localhost:1109/portal/Default.aspx?alias=localhost:1109/portal/demo

Anybody have an idea what is up!!

Or upgrade to Vista, and IIS 7.

Steve wrote Vista is out of the question, don't like it at all. Some of my dev. PC use WIN200 and are the best and stable PC I have.

Yeah I loved my Win2000 boxes too but ASP.NET 3.5 doesn't run on them. Not using ASP.NET 3.5 is not an option. I finally had to bite the bullet and upgrade to Win2003. I'm using Vista on my development machine (I turned off "User Account Control" so I don't get the annoying warnings) and it is actually very stable. I do have 4 gigs of RAM and a dual processor so that may help.
