Hello.

I'm a newbie to VS.NET, ASP.NET, and IIS. I just installed VS.NET and IIS
and created a simple .htm in VS.NET under asp.net web applications, then
installed IIS. I plan to use IIS
as my web server on the internet (Win XP Pro)

Anyways, IIS sees my site just fine, but when I try to navigate to the page
through a web browser, I get a Windows box that asks for Username and
Password. The box has an icon of a lock on it.

"Anon User" is checked in IIS, so as far as I know, there should be no box
of this sort. For my URL I type in the IP address/filename.

I'm sure this is a simple fix that any intermediate user can spot from a
mile away.

Thank you in advance for any help

Hello mate

check that the website that the application is running under is set to allow Anonymous access. Also check that the application allows Anonumous access. You can check these settings under IIS. Right clickon the app or web site -> Properties -> Directory Security Tab -> Edit. Make sure it's ticked

Yes, I definitely checked that. They are checked. Nothing in IIS doc, or
any of my questions here or in mIRC has helped. Really stumped by this.

I found problem. Right click default web site ---> new ----> server
administrator ----> made my user name the Server Administrator. Now I can
get to my site via the internet. Others, however, cannot. They get an error.
So, barring someone knows I am a rank newbie and knows that the most obvious
answer can help me; I'll fiddle with it until I fix it myself.

Thanks
