404

I'm kinda desperate here

I have a Windows 2003 Server and when I try to call http://localhost I get a 404 error

I have localhost configured to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ and whatever file I create there it always shows a 404

This is what I see on the log file

2010-07-22 14:54:06 W3SVC1 127.0.0.1 GET / - 80 - 127.0.0.1 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.2;+SV1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727;+.NET+CLR+3.0.4506.2152;+.NET+CLR+3.5.30729) 404 0 3

I tried restarting IIS with no luck, the eventvwr shows no error whatsoever.

Please any light will be appeciated
