I had this problem where I have to setup IIS on a machine that already runs a webserver (CommunigatePro Webmail). The issue was I needed both to be accessible via port 80 so my clients will not have to connection to non-standard ports. After much research and testing, I managed to get this running. The solution is simply to have 2 IP address on the server (one for IIS, one for the other webserver), configure them both to listen only to their specific IPs.

Here's the work around on that: stop the WWW service ( net stop http /y ) grab the httpcfg.exe from your Windows 2003 install CD.
