IIS6 - localhost vs. hostname and ACL failures

I can access all of my pages on my IIS6 server from the server using the
path:

http://localhost/...

But when I try to access any of the pages using:

http://sleclerc/...

I am prompted for my UserName and Password over and over again. If I cancel
out of the login prompts I get a 401.3 error. This even occurs when I am
logged onto the IIS6 server as the local administrator account and I use the
hostname instead of localhost.

Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks.
