IIS & localhost issue

[Guest]

Today, for the first time, a flash file failed to load. However, when I
replaced localhost with my IP address (or machine name) it displayed fine.
Another person here at work had the same problem. He thinks its an IIS setup
issue. He solved the problem by using Ctrl+Alt+P and picking the browser.

While this does have the side benefit of allowing me to use FireFox if I so
choose, I'd rather solve the problem.

He also showed me in the project settings a location under
Configuration/Debugging an option for Start URL. Which he said is where I can
set the startup to be other than localhost. However, its grayed and we don't
know how to enable it.

Any ideas for either option?

Well, you can certainly modify your HOSTS file to point localhost to your ip
address. Probably not the best solution though.
