Pls help a newbie! ASP test pages not displaying in IE 6?

I am trying to set up my first ASP pages in DWMX and have downloaded
the test Calendar and Events.aspx pages from the tut at
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/dreamweaver/articles/aspnet_calendar.html.

When I get to the part of the tut that says, "Then, open up your
browser and enter the following URL:
http://localhost/aspnet_calendar/events.aspx. The events entered in
the aspnet_calendar database are for March of 2003. To see the
information from the database displayed in the calendar, you will need
to scroll back to March 2003 in the calendar", when I try to PREVIEW
from DWMX in IE6, I get the error: "The page cannot be displayed -
Cannot find server or DNS Error" IF I TYPE
"http://localhost/aspnet_calendar/events.aspx" (rather than "c:\...")
as the URL, IE6 hangs as if processing. According to the tut, I
should be seeing a calendar.

The files ARE in the directory that is referenced (I've quadruple
checked my URL and dirs.)

You are talking to an absolute NEWBIE here so I would appreciate any
dumbed down help you can get.

I take it these .aspx pages are ASP.NET, not ASP. Have you installed
the .NET framework on your design PC?

Yes, I have. I put file in same dir as my aspx files.
