Is that under IE? It's error messages can be misleading...

Do you have localhost in your hosts file??

Have you tried http://127.0.0.1:8080/manage ?

Have you checked that the service is running?

It generally doesn't take any work at all - I'd suspect either that the
service is not running or that something else is trying to hog that port
before getting into more exotic issues. Check the service status (try
restarting it if it seems to be running), and event log...

You say "windows business server" - could this mean SBS? If so, has ISA
server got it's sticky mitts in the situation?
