An Intranet Web site was created in a NT4 based server with IIS installed. The IIS security was set to allow anonymous access, and the NTFS security of files was also set to allow guests to access. But, the other users, besides the system administrator who set up the web site, can not access this web site. The system administrator is the only person who can access this web site. This NT server also has the default web site on it.

The "other users" have no problem to access the default website of this NT server. But, other users have problems to access the web site which has a unique IP address, other than the IP address of the default web site, assigned to it. This unique IP address was assigned to the same NIC of the NT server through the Network property window of NT system. In other words, this NT server is supporting two Intranet Web sites with one NIC.

How to resolve this probelm to allow "other users" to access this intranet web site?

Supporting 2 websites with one nic card is not hard follow the steps outlined below adn you should have no trouble:

- Bind both IPS to the NIC Card using the advanced feature in the network configuration.

- In IIS select first intranet websiteand select the IP for the Intranet 1 website. Click to the Home Directory Tab and make sure the directory is read.

- In Directory Security you have a couple options. You can either set anonymous access which will allow anyone who can connect to the box to view the site, or you can use the Challange Response feature of NT and set permissions to allow domain users to access the intranet.

- In Explore make sure your permissions on the directory are ser allowing everyon read/list accessto the root and sub directories of the website.

Hope this helps,

I got two web site set up already. The problem is the security issue. The default web site can be accessed by anyone. But, the other web site is not. The problem is how to make the other web site to be accessed by anyone.

Why not emulate the permissions on the directories of the default web site, and IIS settings for the home direcotry and directory security? That is a good start.

The security setting on both directories is the same. The problem remains. Anyway, thanks for your help.

I think that your problem lies in the fact that the web folder in inetpub needs to be linked to the 2nd IP address. I performed an installation of an internal web application some time ago and one of the configuration steps was to assign the IP address to the web folder. I don't remember the exact procedure. Hope this helps...

The web site was set up with 2nd IP address correctly. With administrator account, I can browse this web site with 2nd IP address.
