    Hi,

    I am running IIS on Windows XP Pro on a laptop and do not have a fixed
    IP address (using DHCP, developing using localhost). I cannot get my
    ASP.NET application to *not* perform authentication.

    When I load my asp.net pages (.html files do not have this problem) I
    am prompted to login, and if I click cancel, I get the 401.3 Access
    Denied by ACL on resource error (this is in Mozilla, in IE it passes my
    credentials thru).

    (0) Anonymous is checked, Allow IIS to control password is checked, and
    Integrated Windows Authentication is checked under Authentication
    Methods in IIS admin on the web application directory.

    (1) I have given the entire web application directory Full Control to
    ASPNET, EVERYONE, and IUSR and it still prompts for a login.

    (2) In web.config, it is set to:
    <authentication mode="Windows" />
    <authorization>
    <allow users="*" />
    </authorization>

    I even tried changing to <authentication mode="None" /> but it didn't
    make a difference.

    (3) machine.config has default settings for authentication, same as on
    my 2000 Server which works just fine.

    Is there some other setting somewhere I am missing? Is it possible that
    some files critical to the execution of ASP.NET do not have the correct
    ACLs? Everything works fine on my 2000 Server, is there something
    different about XP? I know many people who have this exact same
    problem.

    Any help would be most appreciated.

    Thanks!
    -Elsa
