I ran into this issue once [though if I remember correctly the default
settings in Windows 2000 and XP are supposed to make this message not
appear, unless you change the settings].

Search www.microsoft.com/support for the word "addheader" to get the
possible fix.

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
Internet Information Services
Technical Information (for support personnel)
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.
