Host Headers in CS2007

Question

When I installed the CSharp site, I tried to use an IIS web site other than the default web site. I bound it to port 80 and gave it a unique host header like: MySite.MyComputer.Local

I edited my hosts file to point MySite.MyComputer.Local to 127.0.0.1 and I put a default.htm in the wwwroot folder that the IIS web site points to so that when I browse to MySite.MyComputer.Local, I get the default.htm page just fine.

After the install, http://MySite.MyComputer.Local/CatalogWebService/CatalogWebService.asmx promots for username and password and nothing works.

So I go into IIS and stop the Default Web Site and add the blank host header on port 80 to the CSarpe site and now http://127.0.0.1/CatalogWebService/CatalogWebService.asmx works just fine.

What am I missing?

If you have a HTTP 401.1 - Unauthorized: Logon Failed, it can be a loopback issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861

If Gael suggestion doesn't work then do check your IE settings.

1. Open IE
2. Go to tools -> Options
3. Select "Security" tab.
4. Select "Internet/Intranet/trusted" icon and click on "Custom Level" button.
5. A popup opens. go to "User Authentication" section and select "Automatic logon with current user name and password" radio button.

or mark your site as trusted site.
