I have a remote (managed) hosting environment that I have installed an instance of DNN on. I have completed the following steps:

1) Uploaded the DNN 4.8 install package to the web server (unzipped it) and put it in inetput\wwwroot\mywebsite\dotnetnuke

2) I have set up the database on a separate machine

3) Changed the web.config to point tothe abov database

4) Set up security permissons or the ASPNET user and the Network Service user on the web server for the folders and files above

5) Both WEB and SQL boxes are running Windows Server 2003

6) The install went flawlessly

Problem: I have a website set up in IIS (DNS is fine) where the home directory points to inetpub\wwwroot\mywebsite\dotnetnuke. When I try to access the site using my browser I get prompted for a windows auth. At first I thought it was just for the install, but now that the app is installed the login prompt still appears. If I type in my credentials, I get my portal. However, I need anonymous access to the portal. Is there something in web.config I need to comment out? Any help would be great.

Turn on Anonymous access in IIS and turn off Windows Authentication.  Right click the web site, Properties, Directory Security tab, Authentication button.  Check anonymous and uncheck everything else.
