Thanks John. I want to note that my issue is now resolved. Thanks to the great support at ESRI, we were able to identify my problem. I had some Web applicaitons (.NET apps) on my E drive. When I installed ArcGIS Server the default location for IIS was "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot" and it was causing a conflict. There is an article that helped ( http://support.esri.com/index.cfm?fa=knowledgebase.techarticles.articleShow&d=32546 ). Essentially, you have to change a registry key before installing ArcGIS Server. Here are the steps that led to success:
1. Uninstall ArcGIS Server
2. Delete the accounts associated with the ArcGIS installation (ArcGISSOC, ArcGISSOM) and the groups (agsadmin, agsusers)
3. In IIS, make sure the ArcGIS folder as well as the virtual directories (Manager, etc) in your Web site are all deleted
4. In Windows Explorer make sure that the arcgisserver output folder and contens are deleted (for me it was E:\arcgisserver\arcgiscache, E:\arcgisserver\arcgisjobs, and E:\arcgisserver\arcgisoutput
I also deleted E:\arcgisserver)
5. Edit the registry key from the above mentioned article from default (record the default setting somewhere so you can change it back) to the location of your web app root. Mine was on the E: drive, example E:\wwwroot\
6. Reinstall ArcGIS Server
7. Run the GIS Server post install
it works !! now I can connect ot manager on local host as well as from remote PC's
8. Run the service packs for your ArcGIS server version
9. You'll then have to run the GIS Server post install again
10. Lastly, change your registry key back to the default setting that you recorded (usually "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot").
