Installing IIS

Hello everyone, i am trying to install IIS on my machine, i followed the tutorial ~~> How to create a simple website with IIS7.5?
rebooted several times and ISS is still not installed, it seems pretty easy to do. funny thing is i have another machine next to me and IIS installed fine without an issue, im i missing something?
Thanks in advance.

Fixed. uninstalled IIS and then reinstalled it.

Ok how do i change the IIS 7 screen that comes up when i type in my web site to my own index.html start page?.

thanks in advance

Nope. Thanks will check it out.

ok i have Tried every password that i have for windows ( admin and user ) and my server, i am still unable to reach my site. i can reach it loacally, but when i try to reach it from another PC i get the windows login prompt, i can login to my router, is there a way to reset the windows prompt so that it does not pop up?
thanks in advance.

You will need to configure the permissions for the site. Are you on a workgroup, homegroup, domain? Do you want to keep the site locked down or open wide up?

For example, in IIS manager, drill down to Default Web Site, double click "Autentication", click on "Anonymous Authentication" over on the right. Click "enable". Then Right click on Default Web Site, and under Manage Web Site, Restart.

i am using a DNS from no-ip.com, i would like to site to be open for now untill i put up a functioning site, i am just using a test page for now.

looks like the permissions are set up correctly.
