Allow access to inetpub on my PC

what do you get when you type http://localhost/ in your browser?

I get a file directory that contains all the files in my wwwroot folder

Did you setup Dreamweaver to connect to remote host via FTP or via Local/Network?

We were using Local/Network

When she opens up the inetpub folder on her computer is she able to see the files?

Yes she can see them.  She can even edit and save them within dreamweaver.  She just can't preview.  When she goes to preview it asks her for a username and password.  When she types in her network u and p the page denys her.

So, without using Dreamweavers preview, if she goes to the address of the server in a browser does it also ask for a user name and password?

Yes. I can preview it OK with Dreamweaver, but if I try to directly access it from my browser, I also get propted for username and password

Try changing IIS authentication to anonymous access and see if that works.

just tick the checkbox 'Integrated Windows Authentication' under default website> properties>Directory Security>edit>Authenticated access....should do the job!

I tried changing to anonymous and is doesn't prompt for a password, but still displays a page error.  This is not an option for me since I am capturing the USER_LOGON server variable.

I have Intgrated Windows Authentication check also.

hi

can you just try to do the following

1) open IIS manager
2) expand your server name
3) go to websites and expand
4) it generally contains default web site
5) right click goto properties
6) goto home directory tab - here we have to point it to the folder where we are placing the files and this directory should contain  the initial file that has to show up
7) go to documents tab - check if default.asp is present in the list if not add it. we can use any page as the opening page we have to just specfy here
8) check if the website is stopped if so start it by right clicking or by clicking the button at the top
9) check the TCP port the default is 80
10) now try accessing it from the same system by giving http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost

it might work.

try it out and reply back if it gives any errors

in the home directory tab

select the "read" and "write" check boxes and unselect the "directory browsing" so that when you open the webpage teh list of files is not displayed

suresh :)

I did you steps.  I can access it if I use http://localhost/login.asp which is my start page.  If I try just local host I get a
an error that says
Directory Listing Denied
This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.
Also the other developer still is unable to access the site.

Thanks  I think we got it.
