WSS on Win2K3 Server. I just converted to WSS from a simple FrontPage Server
Extensions 2 setup and am having a difficult time with my public web site.
Users visiting the web site are prompted with the "Enter Network Password"
with Username, Password and Domain boxes. I think it is down to an anonymous
authentication issue. I have ensured that IIS has Anonymous authentication
enabled and the IUSR_computername account is set up for read access,
however, in the MS instructions for SP I also need to complete the steps
below. The only
problem is that I don't know the EXACT steps to complete steps 1 & 2 below.
Can someone help me find the way?

From Microsoft SS Support:
Enabling Anonymous Access
"If you want to allow anonymous access (such as for an Internet site), you
must enable anonymous access by assigning rights to the anonymous user
(DONE!). To enable anonymous access, you must first be sure that IIS is
configured to allow anonymous access (also DONE), and then on the Site
Administration pages for your Web site, you can enable anonymous access (THIS
is my problem!)
Enable anonymous access for a top-level Web site
1. On your site, click Site Settings. (What do they mean by "On your site" -
using what tool do I do this? I can't find the "Site Settings" to click on)
2. Under Administration, click Go to Site Administration. (Again, I think if
I knew what "tool" to use and HOW to access it in step 1, I could complete
this task!!)
3. On the Site Administration page, under Users and Permissions, click
Manage anonymous access.
4. In the Anonymous Access section, select a level of access to allow:
â?¢ Entire Web site
â?¢ Lists and libraries
â?¢ Nothing
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I have been all over the Virtual Server administration and Central
SharePoint Administration and have not seen any place to perform the above
steps. I have never seen these 3 choices listed in step 4 anywhere! ANY help
would be appreciated so that I may get on with my life ;-}
