The newsgroup that deal with IIS have inetserver in their newsgroup names.

If you have not installed the IISlockdown and allowed it to remove the help
web, then IIS documentation is available on your system at
http://localhost/IIShelp

You need to indicate within the IIS mgmt UI that the web allows anonymous
access (in directory security tab in the properties of the web), and also,
you need to make sure that the account used for anonymous access has
permission at the NTFS filesystem level to the web content files. The
default account used is named IUSR_<your machine> . This account
needs a grant of read on files and list on directories at a minimum
