SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to open a FrontPage Server Extensions-based Web site, you are repeatedly prompted for a user name and password.

-and-
 * You have multiple Web sites configured.

-and-
 * You do not assign a specific Internet Protocol (IP) address to the default Web site.



RESOLUTION

 * 1) Log on to the server computer as Administrator.
 * 2) Start Internet Service Manager.
 * 3) Expand the folder list, right-click Default Web Site, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu that appears.
 * 4) In the Default Web Site Properties dialog box, on the Web Site tab, in the IP Address list, click the IP address that you want, and then click OK.
