Iis 5.0

louie

Does anybody know where I can find more information on IIS 5.0?

The program works fine but anytime I am going into a website that runs server side ads(http://www.statcounter.com), it pops-up a login window.

How can I stop this?

Not quite sure what you mean.

Are you talking about developing websites or visiting them? Internet Information Services or Microsoft Internet Explorer?

.

Version 6 is windows 2003:

There were versions 5 and 5.1 :

To answer your question.. .. I'd start on the IIS homepage and tech notes area on microsoft's site and take it from there

Sorry

Sorry I didn't explain myself very well.

I do use the IIS for creating my website in ASP and it works fine. I don't have any problems in that point of view.

What I am talking about is browsing the internet.
If I go into a website that is running banner ads based on asp or php code, there is not problem, but if a browse a website that runs server ads, that's when I get a small window for logging into the server to actually see it.

I don't want to see it but it's very annoying when you are checking your stats and you get a loging window(IE) on every page.

Somebody said it's something to do with the way I have the IIS 5.0 setup.

I checked Microsoft website, but there is not help there with my problem.

Google? Microsoft?

This would be a browser issue and would have nothing to do with IIS running on your machine. Is the whole website opening in a pop-up or just the advert?
[Actually the statcounter homepage is a bit bare ]

How can I stop this?

Get another browser or fix the one you have (can't really say as you didn't give much to go on!)

OK you replied just before I got mine in so:-
a server running server side scripts should have absolutely no effect on your system as the server side code is just that - it is processed into HTML on the server and then sent to you. Having IIS running on your machine is irrellevant to this.
Are you saying that when you login somewhere you keep getting logged out? Then it is a cookie problem - (assuming you are using MSIE) go to tools > internet options > security and under custon level enable cookies

What does the login window say? Post a screenshot if you can.

Guys, you are missing my point.

I don't have aproblem with IIS 5 or IE 6.

They are all fine.

I attached a screen shot.
I hope you will understand what I am talking about.

This is very unusual indeed. Never seen anything like it I could be totally wrong here. But could you do this.

Could you load up Internet Explorer 6

Go to tools > internet options

Go to the "connections" tab

Click the "lan settings" button

Are any of those boxes ticked, are you using any sort of proxy server at the moment?

If it's not this, then it's more than likely the security settings. You could try setting the security settings a lot lower, and see if it makes a difference.

louie

I checked that in IE6 - Tools-Connections-Lan settings.

The Automatically detect settings is checked.

I clear the box, but it does the same thing.

mneylon

Sanity check :Try it in a different browser

louie

I set the security level to low and it stoped, but the banner ad does not comes up.
Doesn't bother me, but what's your opinion on that level of security?

mneylon

Install a firewall

Make sure your email is scanned server-side

Use an up to date anti-virus package

I have Zone Alarm Pro & I am using ETrust antivirus.
