After some help from Macromedia tech support, here's what we figured out...

Recently when the Sasser worm struck, we were reluctant to install
Microsoft's patch because of scattered reports that it could lock up
servers. (Also because we have SAVCE to detect virus/worm activity.) Instead
we used Microsoft's "manual" workaround; a registry edit (Knowledgebase
Article 187498). However it appears the registry change did not take affect
until our server rebooted this morning after the power outage. The registry
edit was interfering with IIS. So I took a chance and downloaded the MS
patch. Fortunately, installing it did not appear to cause the 100% CPU use
some people have seen, and the IIS Web server now works properly. 

Thanks to everyone who replied, and to MM for dropping the support fee since
it wasn't a CF issue!

Have you opened up IIS manager and made sure the site is running there?

Subject: [KCFusion] Yipes - CF server inaccessible
Importance: High

We had an overnight power failure and now our CF5 intranet is
inaccessible no matter what. When I go into our server room and log in I
can't reach the administrative page, and just get "cannot find server"
IE errors. (But I can reach the IIS admin web page; IIS is running
fine.) All CF and WWW services are up and running. Can browse to the Web
from this machine, so I know our connection to the outside world is OK.
Nothing specific in the event logs.
Tried rebooting the machine several times. Management is already asking
when it will be fixed. I've never had this happen before. Any tips!
