I've been having trouble with accessing my web site. I've set it to allow
anonymous connections and to use IUSR_BUTTERCUP (the name of this computer
is "buttercup") as the user. I've set the password for this user and have
checked the box to allow IIS to control the password. However, whenever I
try to access the site (either remotely, or with 127.0.0.1, I am prompted
with a login box asking for user name, password, and domain. IUSR_BUTTERCUP
is in there by default, along with the password, and a blank domain. I am
not using a domain on our LAN. I've tried leaving it blank, entering the
workgroup name, entering the computer name, and entering my ISP's domain
name. No matter what I enter, I get an HTTP 401.1 error. I've also tried
logging on as other users on our network. Nothing works. However, I CAN get
into the FTP Site (the login box doesn't ask for a domain; I think that's
the problem). HTTP://localhost works too.
I've designated my My Documents folder as the home directory. I've been able
to get into it before, but something changed. I wish I could tell you WHEN
it started doing this, or what changes I might have made to network settings
to cause this, but unfortunately I can't remember.
Does anybody know why my web site is demanding a login even though I told it
to allow anonymous access, and what it thinks the domain is supposed to be?
