Unable to Start Debugging on the Web Server - gggggggrrrrrrrrrrr

I had this error today trying to connect to a new website on my local IIS installation.

I think the problem was something to do with calling the website 127.0.0.1 rather than localhost... but I couldn't get Visual Studio 2008 (VS2008) to talk to IIS for this website.

There were lots of useful suggestions out there - including http://ryanfarley.com/blog/archive/2005/08/23/8540.aspx and a very authorative post on MSDN - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dwesw3ee(VS.71).aspx - but I never did get it working (I found another way forwards instead)
