Cannot access http://server/iisstart.htm anonymously ?

Cannot access http://server/iisstart.htm anonymously ?

1.
IIS manager
websites properties
Directory Security tab
Anonymous access and authentication
edit
Anonymous access checkbox is checked
set up IUSR_[machine_name] with blank pass

2.
IUSR_[machine_name] has the READ permission on wwwroot

3.
MY COMPUTER, MANAGE, LOCAL USERS AND GROUPS, USERS selected
IUSR_SERVER and reset password to blank.

4.
I also tried IISRESET.

Still when i browse to http://server/iisstart.htm i am prompted for user /
pass.

Any ideas ?

Thanks for your time

> set up IUSR_[machine_name] with blank pass

The password with IIS will have to match the password for the user on the
machine. Reset the password and put it into IIS.

thanks for reply.

the passwords do match yet i still get prompted for user pass when browsing
from another machine to http://server/iisstart.htm

websites, properties, dir seciruty, enable anonumous (edit)
default website, properties, dir seciruty, enable anonumous (edit)

both these areas show iusr_server

also tried

server/iusr_server

wwwroot allows read access to iusr_server

tried iisreset

im stuck : (

Are the files in your webserver root (probably c:\inetpub\wwwroot\) set to
inherit permissions? Also do these perrmisions include read access to the
iusr_server account?

yes all files have correct permissions. iusr_server account definetly has
read access to "IISSTART.HTM"
Also do these perrmisions include read access to the iusr_server account?


yes. iusr_server account has READ access to all files in wwwroot.
