401.3 error not authorized to view with discussion web only

External Since: Jan 21, 2004 Posts: 12

I'm finally able to test my discussion web with sample posts in IE using http://localhost. However, when I try to use http://cove3a.no-ip/info to connect via DNS redirect, I'm getting a 401.3 error not authorized to view this page after asking for a userid/password.

The discussion web is using FP 2002 extensions, is set to anonymous no password use, but it's asking for a password anyway. When I change the default directory for IIS to a non-fp extensions web, I'm able to get to the web with either of the above without any password.

However, I'm have the feeling either way it's connecting internally on my home pc and not via the internet because when I try http://cove3a.no-ip.info from a outside computer, I get a 502 web not responding error, although I can ping ok from that computer.

Is there some kind of permission/password system associated with FP extensions?

I'm not sure why, but after right click in Windows Explorer on the discussion web site folder in question, clicking security tab, and setting all permissions for cateogry "administrator", I'm now able to test post to the discussion web with http://cove3a.no-ip.info in IE 6.0. I am the adminstrator for the XP Pro machine which IIS is on, so I"m not clear why I need to do this

I can only do this from IE 6.0. I still get "502 web server not found" if I enter the URL in the AOL box, or from AOL or IE 6.0 on my other computer which is not on the LAN and which connects to AOL via phone modem.
