TESTING SERVER PROBLEMS

I am new to dynamic site development. Am caught up in a very basic issue. I am using XP Pro, IIS is working, am trying to set up a ASPjavascript page. In "site definition", "testing files", my URL is http://localhost/test. "Test URL" gives error "Dreamweaver cannot use the prefix you entered to display live data Please double check your site configuration or click Help for more information (HTTP error:12029)".
If I ignore this and complete the site definition, when I make a new ASP javascript page, the Application Databases, Bindings, Server behaviours etc don't work - "Set up the sites testing server" is not checked.
I have tried to read through books, forums etc. Haven't been able to resolve this problem. The folder "test" is located at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\. The IIS http://localhost/ works fine. If i put in a file in the test folder "index.html" and type in http://localhost/test/index.html , the page opens.
I'd greatly appreciate any help on this issue.

Problem resolved. It was the most basic problem. I had the personal firewall turned on and that was blocking dreamweaver from accessing the internet. Enabled access by dreamweaver through the firewall and everything works like clockwork.
Anyways, by now I have done so much research on setting up the testing server that if anyone else needs help there, I can try.

Hi, Thanks for the help. I have tried literally everything. Obviously I am going wrong somewhere. Here are the details:
System - XP Pro, IIS - checked its working.
LOCAL INFO
Site : test
Local root folder : C:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\
Http address: http://localhost/test/

TESTING SERVER
Server model :ASP javascript
Access : local/network
Testing server folder : c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\
URL prefix : http://localhost/test/

I've checked and re-checked IIS, Site definition settings. I've been to as many forums as I could. I've un-installed and re-installed dreamweaver - No luck.
I would greatly appreciate any help in resolving this issue. Thanks in advance

Try putting : http://localhost/test/ in the site definition - this should solve the error in dreamweaver
