Pete Orologas

Firefox - Enter username and password for "" at http://localhost - Solution

IIS uses Integrated Authentication and by default IE has the ability to use your windows user account...but don't worry, so does Firefox but you'll have to make a quick configuration change.

1) Open up Firefox and type in about:config as the url

2) In the Filter Type in ntlm

3) Double click "network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris" and type in localhost and hit enter

4) Write Thank You To Blogger

As Always, Hope this helped you out.

Hmmm! I'm sure there is a fine technical reason for this from the folks at Microsoft. However, the folks from Redmond also have a product to sell. This smacks of Microsoft ensuring its browser software, namely IE plays well with its web server, while other equally good or better browsers have to run the hoops.
Thanks for the help. I'm going back to APACHE. Less gamesmanship.

I'd like to know why the **ck those ***holes that develop these programs think they need to **ck with it so as to make our lives (users) more difficult!  Every **cking release has to have some clever new *ullsh*t  in it that just **cks things up and we then have to spend hours, and days trying find the **cking answer!!

For me, this goes out equally to PHP and MySQL -- just leave the **ucking programs ALONE!

As for you, Pete Orologas, you are one steely-eyed missle man.  I wish we didn't need you, but I'm glad you are around.
