IIS Server Question (localhost)

[Pokey007]

I'm trying to set up a testing server on my windows XP machine. I have IIS installed off the windows CD (IIS 5.1) but when I type 'http://localhost' an authenication box pops up and asks for a username and password!!! Where do I find that information, or how can I change it to somethinge else?

Thanks!

Try Internet Services Manager --> properties of your listing --> Directory Security tab --> Anonymous access and authentication control section --> Edit button --> enable anonymous access. It should use your anonymous user built during IIS install.. should be IUSER_yourmachinename.
