Hi, I had this happen on our box as well. It loses connection as soon as a cfm page is attempted to be served.
For me it only started happening after 1 of 2 things: a) We installed .NET FrameWork b) SP3 We are not sure which. Our MX installation was working fine. Then I installed .NET framework and didn't bother to check the server (it was a test server)...then when SP3 came out a day later, assuming that the box was working, I installed SP3. And lo and behold...this caused the problem. I tried *EVERYTHING* to solve the problem including uninstalling .NET, SP3, IIS, Reinstall CFMX etc., but no luck. So I wiped the system again, installed all patches including SP3 (not .NET), installed CFMX and we were back in business. Sorry I don't have a more "fix it" solution... :) And I have yet to try NET with CFMX yet...but that's my next test.
