Just picked up on this and thought i should share - I have Farcry running on Vista 32 bit and Helicontech ISAPI_Rewrite 3 for friendly URLs.
Try running http://yourlocalsitename/pingfu If this fails then add an entry in your hosts file for yourlocalsitename, then try http://yourlocalsitename/pingfu and you should get the pingfu success message. I had to do this last step to get the friendly urls to work. Chris.
