Hi r4wk,
You said, "i tried fooling around with everything and
nothing has worked." You've gotta believe that there's
always more fooling around that can be done!
I'm pretty sure you need to check a box in your IIS
configuration that says "Allow Anonymous Access". This
can be found in the IIS management console: under the Web
Sites folder, click on the Properties of your Default Web
Site; on that properties dialog, click the tab
for 'Directory Security' where you'll find a button to
set up Anonymous Access and Authentication. Sorry to be
pedantic, but if you're coming from Apache you might not
be used to this kind of obscurity!
But if you already checked with this to no avail, I'm not
sure where to go next. Is there more than one web site
defined under IIS? Have the default security settings
for IUSR_MYNODE been tweaked (they shouldn't need to
be)? Does your home page reference any
cgi/script/executable elements?

i switched over from apache to IIS for a little bit,
just to test it out. now. people from outside ip's cant
access my site through my url. it asks for name and
password when trying to access the top level. which is
the root directory. i tried fooling around with
everything and nothing has worked.
