FP2002, IIS authority problem

[Fred]

Hello Group

Thanks in advance to all that reply.

I have a desktop computer running XP PRO, IIS (host for my site I'm
developing) with SE 2002, and frontpage 2002, and the computer name is
Desktop1 .
I also have a laptop running XP PRO and frontpage 2002 and both pc are
network together on a home network.

All is working fine on the desktop pc:
- I'm able to use IIS to host a website that I'm developing
- use Frontpage 2002 to develop the site.

My problem is that I would like to use FP on the laptop to do some of the
development.

But when I
"Open web..." / My Network places / desktop1(computer name) / to open the
website I get window "Connect to desktop1" prompting for a username and
password. The username is grayed out and I can't update it (it's defaulting
to "Desktop1\Guest"). I have to cancel and then I get the error you do not
have permission to access this web folder location.

How do I setup the authority on a home network for this?
desktop running IIS hosting
second machine running frontpage for development.

Thanks again to all who reply

Fred

Hi Fred,

You need to change the Authetication Methods from Integrated Windows
Authentication to Basic autheitication in the IIS of the Desktop machine.
After changing this, restart the IIS services.

Hope this helps
