Can't get IIS to work in duplicate Vista install on same m..

I'm working on a multi-boot installation of Vista. My Vista 32
installation IIS default website works fine but I can't get the
default IIS website (same machine) going using Vista 64. Advanced
settings and web site binding are idenical--same machine--same router--
same static ip.

I use no_ip ddns and it has alway worked fine for me. When scanned,
port 8080 (the ddns forwarding port) keeps showing closed in Vista64.
Localhosts doesn't work either in V64 either although the hosts file
has the correct loopback ip. What is going on here?????

Thanks for any help!

I've finally figured it out--a case example in overlooking the
obvious! The Windows firewall was on unbeknownst to me.
