Rick, Check to make sure that IUSR account is not locked or the password has changed/expired. There is an option in IIS to manage this account automatically. If the password expires/changes in one place and not the other this can throw these types of errors.
At the very least you should be able to create a new guest account and give it access to the sites via IIS security settings. -Adam On Thu, 10 Feb 2005 23:27:08 -0500, Rick Faircloth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I don't know what happened to your machine, Steve, but all > of a sudden I can't view any of my sites using http://localhost, > nor can I view them with a URL directly to my sites folders using > my static IP on other PC's.
