HTTP Error 403 on local machine

[C. M. G.]

win xp pro, fp03

I am logged on as an administrator, but when I try to open a web on my local
machine, I get the

HTTP Error 403 You are not authorized to view this page

message. The same web is readily accessible on my remote server.

This is a new problem, but I have not made any changes to my system (that I
can remember). How can I regain access to my local webs?

Thank you,

Clem.

your site and choose properties. Make sure, under Directory Security, that
anonymous access is checked and the other boxes aren't.
