login for iis in flock?

I'm running xp pro and when I go to a localhost site through IE, it
comes up fine. But when I try to go to the site in Flock, it pops up
a windows username/pwd login. I'm not sure why it's doing this or how
to get around it. I can do the same thing on other machines without
Flock doing that. Any ideas what I can change to browse the site in
Flock also? Thanks.

It sounds like Windows Integrated Authentication is required to load the
site, and as you're viewing locally in IE it's automatic. If Flock doesn't
support Integrated Auth, or it does but doesn't automatically log you in
like IE does, then that's why you see the dialog. In order to get Flock to
go straight into the site, tick Anonymous in the authentication options and
make sure that the IUSR_<machinename> account has sufficient permissions to
access the site files.
