After Restarting IIS on the "host" and FrontPage on
the "client", YES, I do get a prompt for user name and
password. When I enter the user name and password the
prompt returns, as if it wasn't accepted. I have tried
reading all of the documentation for IIS security and XP
but feel like I am going around in circles. I think I
need IIS security and FrontPage for Dummies. The setup
looks like this;

IIS 5.1 w/FPSE 2002 running on XP PRO connected to a hub
(IP 192.168.0.2), hub connected to a router (IP
192.168.0.1) and router hooked up to broadband.

Client is XP PRO running FrontPage at IP 192.168.0.4
hooked up to the same hub.
FrontPage destination is http://192.168.0.2/webname

I have tried playing with this off and on for months and
give up in frustration and take the easy way out (allow
anonymous authoring). The setup seems small and streight
forward. Is there any step by step documentation that
will walk me through setting this up correctly in the
type of enviorment I just described?
