catalogue to the folder with my asp codes. However IE keeps saying that
http://localhost is not available without Internet connection. Such thing
often happend on other computers, but after several refresh it worked. How

Why would you start PWS on a machine on which you've installed IIS?

A dim and distance memory tells me you may be able to install a loopback
adapter and that'll help.
