  IIS 5.1 in XP Pro SP3 (Login Password Popup) Reply Contact Hello again.. While i was testing my Web Application in various systems, i had difficulties with some XP Pro SP3 machines with IIS 5.1. This problem is NOT my application's error but instead i assume that is something wrong with localhost and IIS. Even when i try to open localhost and get the two default web sites i get a login and password popup window while that causes a 401 error. I tried everything that i found in here and everything i could check in google. Still no resolution. This Happened in 1 virtual machine while testing and other 4 machines...If i cant figure this out..how i could ever deploy it in my clients? Please im looking forward in your help.  Thanx in advance.

  Re: IIS 5.1 in XP Pro SP3 (Login Password Popup) Reply Contact Hello, Sounds like you have permissions problems, thus the 401 error.  You will find this article most helpful in troubleshooting 401 errors: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907273 You should be able to track down what the permissions problem is by following that guide.

Launch inetmgr and right click on your site and go to Properties. Go to the Directory Security Tab and click on Edit under Authentication and Access Control. Select the checkbox that says Enable Anonymous Access.

  Re: IIS 5.1 in XP Pro SP3 (Login Password Popup) Reply Contact Thats the point, it doesn't even show localstart or iisstart, goes directly on login. Tried everyhing about anonymous authentication,changing IUSR password folder security, nothing. Only if i check basic authentication, then it just goes into access denied page directly. This already seen i 3 windows xp pro machines. I started to be curious if this is happening because of installing IIS after framework!!! Im trying possible workarounds now, like uninstall framework, IIS and again back IIS Framework. Im like desperate i think :) Thank you all, if anyone has anything to suggest, please welcome!

So again make sure you enabled anonymous authentication and ensure the resource file can be read by the anonymous account, which is iusr_computername by default. Cheers, Bernard Cheah

I will post if i find something. I am just in another project right now.
