IP Address and Domain Name Restrictions Button is Greyed out - Help

I just re-installed XP Pro SP2 (Total wipe and install) on my computer and
after installing IIS the IP Address and Domain Name Restrictions button in
Directory Security is greyed out. The only IP allowed access to the server
is 127.0.0.1 my own computer.
Before the re-install all computers on my network had access to the server.
The original install was done using an XP Disk without SP2 and I did the
updates from the web. This time I used an XP Disk with SP2 to save time on
the updates. Is there something in SP2 the does not allow me to change the
IP access restrictions?
How can I fix this?


Thanks

Hello,

"IP Address and Domain Name Restrictions" is not available in Windows XP,
only server OSes. What do you mean by that 127.0.0.1 is the only IP
allowed to access IIS on your Windows XP machine? Is IIS blocking other IP
addresses? If so, how do you know?

Or could it perhaps be a firewall that is blocking others from accessing
IIS?

Thanks Chris
Chis is actually my third install. on the second install, I couldn't connect
from another computer(I don't know why now) and when I went to directory
security it was greyed out, I assumed this was the reason other computers
couldn't access the server. When I loaded this last (3rd) time, I went
straight to the directory tab and when I saw it was grey I didn't even try
to connect from another computer, I just assumed I would not be able to. I
just tried to connect from another computer on the network and it worked -
dumb me.
Again Thanks.
Greg
