Hello all,

I am having a problem w/ IIS6 and setting up a second website on a windows 2003 machine.

In my current setup, I have three Network Load Balanced machines in a cluster with a single website running on them. This website runs fine (great, even).

It has anonymous access enabled and uses a domain account for authentication. The website physically lives on a SAN that sits between all 3 servers. All appropriate permissions are set on the files. Again, the first website works great.

What I need now is to setup a second website that physically points at the same location (\\iiscluster\ The reason is so that I can have a second domain name use SSL to access the same files (branding a site for a client). The certificate is not yet installed.

The second website has exactly the same security settings (anonymous access, using the domain account, Integrated Windows Authentication ticked on, using the DefaultAppPool, etc...) and points at exactly the same home directory (\\iiscluster\
However, when I hit the address, I get prompted for a username and password. Even weirder, if I enter my admin username and password (just to see if I can get it to work at all), it will not take it. It keeps prompting me until I eventually get the "HTTP Error 401.3 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to an ACL set on the requested resource"

Can anyone think of what I might have missed? I suppose it's possible that there may be something going on w/ the NLB Cluster, but there, I just went into the cluster properties, went to the "Cluster IP Addresses" tab, and entered the new NAT address of the website in the "additional cluster ip addresses" box. And yes, that address is assigned to the new website.

I'm completely stumped here and would appreciate any insight you guys could offer.

Thanks,
Paul

Just wondering... could you be typing the wrong IP address into your browser? For instance, if your router resides on 10.1.10.1 and your website resides on 10.1.1.10 , then could you be mistakenly entering your router address which is prompting you for your router password? Just a thought... Also, It may be best that you seperate the directories of the two websites. It would help you to organize things a bit and keep the confusion factor at a minimum.
