IIS question

[Maincat]

Windows XP Pro SP2 - cable modem into router into three machine LAN.

When I type in my public IP address, the router details appear on screen
wanting my username and password. Is that the normal behaviour? It happens
whether or not IIS is installed. I wanted the IP to go to my IIS machine.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Steve

The IP address assigned by your ISP belongs to your router (in the
normal scenario). It assigns made-up (nonroutable) IP addresses to
each machine on the network. Computers from outside your LAN are not
going to be able to contact your IIS server.
