I started getting this error when I accessed pages hosted on IIS installed on my machine (I’m running Windows XP):
The page cannot be displayed
There are too many people accessing the Web site at this time.——————————————————————————–

The wierd thing was I was getting that error on Opera and IE, but everything was fine on Firefox.
Solution
My friend suggested the following:
- go to IIS Manager
- right click on ‘Default Web Site’ (under YOUR_MACHINE_NAME/Web Sites/) and choose properties
- change ‘Connection Timeout’ value to 10 seconds
- uncheck ‘HTTP Keep-Alives Enabled’
- save the changes
