I am successful using OPEN REMOTE and entering the IP address and getting
the open dialog to enter the Account Name and Password...

When I try to open via the WEB I can get the default IWP screen with the
database listed on the IWP home page; however; when I click on it and enter
the Account and Password the Dialog bounces back ... I cannot get the
database to display the opening page (Note - When I have the GUEST account
activated foe FMNet and FWM IWP in Privileges the database opens with no
prompt for an Account or Password.


So my question is - what do I have to do to get the database to open when
the Account Name and Password are entered via the Internet??? Is this a
router config problem. What part of the puzzle am I missing????


Whoever can solve this for me... it would be greatly appreciated.

Right click on My Computer, Manage my Computer, under services go to
IIS, right click "default website" and click properties.

On the "directory security" tab under "authentication and access
control" click "Edit"... this brings up a "Authentication Methods"
dialog:

enable anonymous access with the default IUSR_xxxx account (this should
already be setup.

UNCHECK all the checkboxes under "Authenticated Access" (I beleive by
default "Integrated Windows authentication" is on - uncheck it.)

Click ok, apply, and for good measure restart IIS and give it another
try.

Betcha a dollar it will work. If it did, next time RTFM

If not... we'll have to look elsewhere. Post back either way.

Thanks for the input .... I shall try this and post the result on this
thread.

If you can open it when the guest account is "on", then the problem is
one of priviledges or authentication methods.

1) What was the setting? What changes did you make? What is set now?
Also check the same preference options on the 'jakarta' virtual folder.

2) Verify that the account/password you are trying to use has IWP
priviledges enabled.

Dave:

Guess what .......the access now works ...you did win the bet ...I guess the
change to the settings did not take effect until the Server was booted up
again. I am eternally grateful for your assistant.
