Sharepoint URL requires default.aspx

[apsande]

I recently set up a sharepoint 3 site using win 2003 server. I want people to access it from the internet. IF they type the address

http://www.site.com

they are prompted for username and password they get the site cannot be found message. They have to add /default.aspx to get the site to work.

Can anyone help.

Thanks,

Andrew Sanders

Set in IIS to load the default.aspx file first.

Hi Thanks for the tip. I rememeber this now, but I right clicked the sharepoint site and went to properties. I went to documents and added default.aspx as the default content page and movbed it to the top, but still no luck.

Weird,

I didn't even have to set that on mine when I used the most recent version of Sharepoint v3 downloaded from Microsoft. Make sure you got all the critical updates done on your server.
