Hi,

I just installed IIS and when I tried browsing the link:

http://localhost

it says:

"you are not authorized to view this page"
HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden

I am on the administrator account and using Windows XP professional. I
tried all sorts of things, http://computer_name, http://dnsserver but
it just wont work. Any ideas what's wrong? Thanks

Rick

This is not an ASP.NET problem, it is an IIS problem. Why not try on the IIS
newsgroup?

Hi,

Is Anonymous Access enabled?
