Re: login for 127.0.0.1



Hi,

You need to read this KB article here:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=258063

Both http://computername and http://localhost are in IE's "intranet" security zone, so IE is logging you in using your Windows credentials.

However http://127.0.0.1 is not in the Intranet zone, so IE prompts you for credentials

You say that in IIS you have Anonymous access enabled. If so, you need to ensure that the configure anonymous user (by default IUSR_<machinename> for static content and ASP files) has appropriate NTFS permissions (Read) to the actual files on the disk.

For ASP.NET content, ensure that the Machine\ASPNET account has Read permissions to the ASP.NET related files (.aspx .asax .asmx web.config etc)

Cheers

I've Windows XP Pro and IIS installed.

When I type http://127.0.0.1 in the address balk of IE, a login + password is asked. Which login + password I have to use? In the configuration of IIS, 'anonymous access' is activated (even if I de-activate 'anonymous access', it doesn't work).
When I type http://localhost in the address balk of IE, I get http://localhost/localstart.asp and all goes fine.

In the same way: http://127.0.0.1/mysite1 doesn't work, and http://localhost/mysite1 works. Also http://<computername>/mysite1 goes fine.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
