Hello

I am not very up on security and permissions and things like that. My problem is as follows. I have IIS 5.1 running on Windows XP Pro. I have signed up for a Dynamic DNS address to use with my server. When people try and access the default page on my server it displays a dialog box asking for a username and password. When you hit cancel it displays a

HTTP 401.1 - Unauthorized: Logon Failed
Internet Information Services

message. I have the anonymous access box checked and the allow IIS to control password is also check. The username is set to IUSR_LAPTOP, the name of the serve is LAPTOP, and the password box is blank.

All these settings are applied to the Web Sites folder in the IIS screen.

I dont know what i should be typing in for the username and password

Can some please help
Thanks in advance.
 
Check and make sure the Intergrated windows Authentication is not checked.
