Authentication required when accesing my own website

[blegit1980]

I use Rapport, a program to manage terminals. This program requires IIS to run properly. Here is the issue. IIS is installed on this computer (Windows XP SP2). They say a good test to see if everything is up and running is to open a browser and browse to my own IP address. When I do this I need to input a username and password!! If I enter the local administrator username and password I can access the site. The strange thing is that I'm logged in with the local admin account... Anyway shouldn't I have anonymous acces to the site? Any help would be great thank you!

Did you check in the IIS Admin tool to be sure anonymous access is enabled? It should be by default.

The same thing is happening to me on one machine that I'm running IIS in WinXP Pro. Did you figure out a work around. The instance of XP Pro that I just installed on my desktop works fine. It's this laptop giving me grief.
