IIS 5.1: Username/Password on localhost not working

1 New Member
Greetings all,

I've recently picked up ASP.NET 2.0 programming (with VB). Just a few days ago, I installed the IIS 5.1 package bundled with WinXP Pro SP2.

However, I've been struggling with IIS ever since I installed it. I'm completely clueless as to how it works. While attempting to logon to localhost (with the localstart.asp default file), I am prompted to enter my username and password.

It seems that my usual username/password combination for Windows logon is not working at all! This is even stranger due to the fact that I've set myself as administrator for this system (with no other users).

What could be a probable cause (and hopefully fix for this)? Hope IIS didn't assign another set of passwords for me.

Thanks in advance.

Rocky

Welcome to TSDN. Asp.net 2 usually works better with IIS 6 or higher. Your problem may relate to the web.config security settings. How have you set this up?
