I am trying to use my IIS server on Windows XP Pro, but
when I try go create a server-based web in FrontPage on
either localhost or 127.0.0.1, or open the ColdFusion
Administrator (web-based program) on my PC, I receive a
Connecting to Local Host dialog box that asks for my
default_realm User name and Password.

This PC is about 6 months old, and I don't remember
enabling any passwords on it. I have no idea what this
is...any clue as to how I can get past it so I can use

Thank you so much for responding, unfortunatly, I have XP
Professional, so these instructions don't match what I'm
seeing. I tried to search for similar instructions for
XP Pro, but didn't find anything.

Do you have any other recommendations?

XP and W2k is similar, just go to the site, right mouse - properties -
directory security and so on .....
