Browsing Default Web Site (SharePoint) with IIS Problem



I recently added the domain controller role to my IIS server so it could be
our 'backup domain controller'. Long story short, I ran into major problems
and had to demote this server. Demoting it forced the server back into a
workgroup so it had to then be rejoined to the domain. Fine.

On my default web site, which happens to be a SharePoint 2003 site, I had to
reset all the permissions on both IIS and SQL in order to get the site back
up and running. Fine.

Only now, whenever I attempt to browse the site with IIS Manager a popup
appears attempting to download 'localserver' as a file. On any client the
same thing occurs but in this case its treating the web server name as the
'file' to download.

This is clearly a security issue, but 12 hours later, I have not been able
to fix this.

I should mention that I'm also still getting the following error whenever I
try to post back to this server:
The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method
(HTTP verb) was used to attempt access.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please try the following:

a.. Contact the Web site administrator if you believe that this request
should be allowed.
b.. Make sure that the Web site address displayed in the address bar of
your browser is spelled and formatted correctly.
HTTP Error 405 - The HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Ross
