    iis 5, not able to see local host with firefox 3

    I do not have any problem to see localhost with IE 7, but when I try it with firefox 3, it ask me login name and password.

    I don't recall that i sat any login and password. And I tried all the password, but i am not able to see it.

    Can anyone help me please?

    thanks in advance.

    It's prompting you because apparently you're not allowing anonymous access.  Do you want to allow anonymous or just make the prompt go away?

    In the IIS MMC, make sure allow anonymous is checked on the directory security tab and also make sure that IUSR_yourmachinename has NTFS Read permission to your web content files and folders.
