401 error when browsing from localhost

i have 3 websites running on a 2k3 box. they all work externally. whenever i
type in the address of any of the websites from the server, i get a prompt
asking for a u/p, and fails with a 401 error. i know i am supposed to look
at the subcodes, but i can't find the entry in the logs! i have checked all
the logs for all the websites, even the ones that i'm not browsing to. i do
have logging enabled on all the sites.

Any ideas on why a site would work externally and not on the local host?
these are simple html pages, with the iis user account granted view and edit
permissions. Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

Re: 401 error when browsing from localhost

Since you cannot find the request logged, i don't think the 401 is coming
from this IIS server. You will have to figure out where it is coming from.
There is probably a network settings that is not correct.
