problem with using ACT for load testing

Hello,

I'm learning IIS and web development, and I have run into a problem, again.

I have web pages running just fine, and they seem happy. So, I got to the chapter in the book about using Microsoft ACT for load testing, and decided that was a good idea. I fired up ACT, and set up to record a new test, but when I tried to access the web page, it gave me a 401 error. It said my browser was sending some sort of authentication information that couldn't be interpreted. (I know, I know, I'm supposed to write down exact error messages. Shame on me.)


I tried with and without anonymous access enabled, and I allowed "everyone" full access to the web sites, but no luck. 401 every time. I also tried messing with configuration information in the web.config file, setting allow="*", and that sort of thing. The web sites are accessible either from within Visual Studio, using Start->Debug, or just by accessing the browser. I'm guessing that I just have to hit some sort of magic button within the IIS configuration setting that lets in the appropriate user for ACT, but I don't know which magic button it is.

Thanks for any assistance anyone can give.

See if this works out for ya.
