On the webserver W7 box, make sure that the IUSR_&lt;servername&gt; user has access to the directory where your website is located. Do you use anonymous access or Windows authentication?

Hi, <br />
<br />
Im getting this error message which started to appear each time you tried to browse to my website which runs on my Windows 7 box.<br />
<br />
401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.<br />
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.<br />
<br />
Its been running fine for about 2 months but as of last week, something has been changed.<br />
<br />
Ive tried to browse to the webpgae whilst on the Windows 7 box and it works fine so I suspect its something to do with the permission on the account which allows external users to browse my website.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?
