I have an IIS web server set up on a Win2000 machine, for a web site and FTP site. Things were fine for a long time. You could access the site anonymously or login as a user. But recently whenever you try to access the server by FTP it throws up a login window, and won't accept any logins, including FTP. I can't think of anything I did to cause that. The web part works fine, including the ASP pages. I've reinstalled IIS, turned the permissions down to nothing both through IIS and the security and sharing sections of computer management, shared everything, included every possible user and group, and nothing changes.

Does anyone know what's wrong?

I have 4 NT 4 boxes and a Win2K Pro installation. When I first installed Win2K I used my personal name (with Administrator priviliges), rather than Administrator, as the logon name. The Win2K box could not access any resources on the NT boxes without giving a logon name and password. Likewise for the NT machines communicating with the Win2K box. It was a mess; all the scripts using the NET ... command had to be changed. A partial solution was to change the default logon name to Administrator. But all problems were not solved until I reinstalled Win2K using Administrator as the logon name.
