Srinivasan, I am sure there is a better way to do this but following solved my problem. Try to stop one or all of the following services and then try to start your websites. Routing and Remote Access Microsoft Web Proxy Microsoft Firewall If websites start, you can then restart stopped services. Let me know if this works and also if you find out any better solution.
