Hello!

I moved a website to one server to another (Win NT 4 to Win 2000) but
on the Win2000 server a Username/Password input dialog appears when
tring to access th website (main default.asp). On all files "Everyone"
has full access. Anonymous access is configured  with "IUSR_xxx" user
as it is after installing IIS. The configuration is the same as on old
server and there the dialog doesn't appear. So does anybody know why
this dialog appears here?

Thanks in advance!

Check file permissions.

Thanks, but permisson of file is already set to "Everyone" so that
can't be the problem.

So then you already know that "Everyone" is a group, and it doesn't
mean "every account on the system", right?  And that the anonymous
user account isn't by default in the group everyone, right?  So that
access using the anonymous user account to a resource with full
control for the group "Everyone" would still not have access unless
the anonymous user also had access, right?

Check file permissions.  Again.

Hello Jeff I checked no the account itself and the account was locked.
After unlocking the account no everything works fine with just
"Everyone" as file permission. Thanks for your help!
