userid and pw for 127.0.0.1

[cappmgr]

I now get a challenge for 127.0.0.1, after installing a nic card. Not sure where to give myself permission. Any help greatly appreciated. Also 127.0.0.1 and localhost do not seem to resolve to the same DNS.
Any help greatly appreciated.
tyvm,

Many antivirus, anti-spam and firewalls will hook 127.0.0.1 I do not know what you mean that they have a different DNS.

Are you saying your firewall is asking about 127.0.0.1? I am not sure what "get a challenge" means. Who is doing the challenge?

route print should show your current routing table entries.

Thank you. By challenge I mean I must enter uid and pw. This only when I try the 127.0.0.1 the default is localstart.asp I have created a test folder under 127.0.0.1 and I am able to get in.

How do I do a route print? I will do that and post it tonight.

To look at IIS information I must type

http://127.0.0.1/path/path/...

I get a not found when tpying

http://localhost/path/path/...

Ok. Clearer.

To do a route print: Start, Run, CMD
route print

Your localhost resolution sounds like a possible problem in c:\windows\system32\drivers\HOSTS

The file should look like:

[tt]

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost
[/tt]

If it does not, copy and paste the above as a new file called HOSTS with no file extension. There are valid reasons for HOSTS entries, and if your HOSTS file contains such entries make certain that they are made after the local host entry as shown above.

You can also be fancier and add:

127.0.0.1

http://www.myIIs.com

or something to access you local IIs install.
