I can see it fine without the restrictions in place. &nbsp;I had used IIS before with the same restrictions and I was challenged with the password box. &nbsp;Now I'm not. &nbsp;Just wondering if there is a setting of an .htaccess type file I need to put in--something like that.

IIS 5.1

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
