Getting ASP.NET Development Server (WebDev.WebServer.exe) to work on Vista

I came across a weird issue today with my ASP.NET Dev Server. I’m running Vista Home Premium with Firefox set as the default browser. I was consistently getting a “Failed to Connect: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:<port>.” error. Little bit of Goolge pointed me to several posts suggesting that I turn off IPV6 on my network adapter.

Hmmm… Nope!

I know a better way to fix this (fingers crossed).
