Help with IIS!

Ok, I set up my IIS website and now I'm trying to access it. I set up the website to allow anonymous connections.

From another computer, I try to access my IIS website. I input the website address and try to access a virtual directory on it. However, it asks me for a login/password. I try my Windows login/password. No go. I then try "anonymous" as my login and no password. Still no go. I finally try IUSR_HAL9000 as my login and no password. Still no go. How do I get my own login/password for my website?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
If you leave everything as default in the Properties window, you should have no problem accessing your site. If you checked "Enable anonymous access" option, uncheck it and try again.
Also, if it's set up as a virtual host, make sure you type the correct DOMAIN NAME instead of the server's IP. Some SOHO routers don't allow you to access a local web server by its domain name or public IP so that's something you need to look into as well.

good luck!
 
Your virtual directory - have you set the file security permissions correctly (guest read-allow)?
Have you setup a local user (assuming a 2000/xp Pro client)? you could do this to specifically allow a username/password to have more rights (see above).
