I've setup an http server on my winxp box. I enabled anonymous login in mmc and disabled everything else. I also added IUSR_HOSTNAME in the security and also added the same in the wwwroot security tab.

Now, when I try to login to my machine using http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx address I get login prompt that asks me for username and password. However when i do the same with http://localhost/ I can view my webpage just fine.

Below is the error that i get when I try login in using http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx address and click cancel in the login box. As far as i know I did everything in order to be able to login anonymously to my machine's http
server. So what am i missing.

HTTP 401.2 - Unauthorized: Logon failed due to server configuration

Technical Information (for support personnel)
  a.. Background:
  This is usually caused by a server-side script not sending the proper WWW-Authenticate header field. Using Active Server Pages scripting this is done by using the AddHeader method of the Response object to request that the client use a certain authentication method to access the resource.
