Can't see web page on server - Failed Authentication

[ideasworking]

Hello,

I have a strange problem... from any workstation inside or outside of the local network I can authenticate to IIS and see my web site. However when I try to browse to the same web site from the actual Win2003/IIS server, authentication fails and I am unable to see the web site.

Can anyone tell me why this is happeneing?

TIA,
Lou

Are you accessing your web site by using an IP address or a DNS name?
If you're using DNS and host headers, then your clients dns may be using a different DNS server to the ones used by your server...

What kind of Authentication are u using ??

Hello,

I'm using Windows Integrated Authentication. There's no domain controller, this is just a single Windows box.

I read some stuff last night about a loop back check. I looked in the registry and there was no LSA key... so I don't suspect it's the loob back check.

I'm stumped... I would have thought being logged on the local machine as administrator I would have access to everything.

I know it's not DNS, I can ping and of course I do get that pesky logon prompt. Last but not least I can browse other unsecure site on that machine.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Lou

I went back and looked at the registry again... it was late last night and I missed LSA key. It was there and I disabled the LoopBackCheck. Now I am able to see the web page when browsing at the server.
