Whats up everyone,

I am working on a personal project on my PC and had a need to edit the HOST file for IIS so that http://mysitename/default.aspx was the same as http://localhost/default.aspx.

This works fine as using either of the URLs in a web browser brings back the proper website but I ran into a problem when I tried to create my Web Application.

At File --> New Website when I choose HTTP as the location and typed in http://mysitename/ as the location I get a Windows Login box with the username as <machinename>\Guest and it asks me for a password. Problem is, the Guest Account is disabled through my user admin but this login box does not allow me to login as anything other then <machinename>\Guest

The real crazy part is that if i create the application at http://localhost there isn't a problem at all.

Does anyone know what the problem is here?

OS is XP Pro not Vista.
