Host header with port 81

Hi,

On our IIS Server we have two web sites. The default web site is using the
port 80 and the second web site is using port 81. On the second web site
I've inserted a Host Header Name (www.website2.net), then to test the
connection I've modified the Hosts file on the server to included the host
header (10.10.10.10 www.website2.net). If I ping www.website2.net from the
IIS server I get a response but if I try to access the web site with the
host header I get prompt for a username and password. Anonymus access is
disabled. Can someone help me with this?
Thank you
Jacques

That seems to be a normal response.
What happens if you enable anonymous access ?

This article explains when IE will prompt for credentials: 258063 Internet
Explorer May Prompt You for a Password
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;258063

If the computer name portion of the requested URL contains periods (such as
http://www.microsoft.com and http://10.0.0.1), Internet Explorer assumes
that the requested address exists on the Internet and does not pass any
credentials automatically.

Hope this helps!
