Password protect directory

Hello.
I would like to password protect access to a specific directory on my IIS
server where the password in not the same as my domain user passwords. The
server is running on Windows 2000 (not active directory).
So far I have only found ways to use the Windows authentication (same
password as my domain accounts) or anonymous access.
Is there a way to specify an independent username and password for access to
a directory controlled by IIS?
Thanks.

You could create a local account on the IIS server and use that instead.

Thanks for your reply.
I've done that. I created a local account on the IIS server. When trying
to login to the web page that is in this directory, The username and
password is not accepted because the password prompt fils in the Windows
domain name. Since I created a local account rather than a domain account,
login with a domain account is not possible.
How do I set the IIS security to only look at a local account?
Thanks.

First off, switch to Basic Authentication. if necessary, preface the
username with the local server name as in servername\username.

Thanks Tom
I've done all these things too. I have the IIS server set for Basic
Authentication only with no domain specified. The local account I created
has the proper permissions.
It works if I specify a domain account and password.

How about specifying the server name as the default domain in the Basic
authentication properties?

I tried that too.
In theory, if you can't browse to it then it's not a valid entry. Nothing
I have tried has allowed me to use a local account to create an access list.
I also tried the Apache method of htaccess/htpasswd in the misguided thought
that IIS might recognize that method of authentication. It doesn't.

I don't understand. Are you saying you can't set NTFS permissions using the
local account?

Tom,
Yes, I can set NTFS permissions on the directory and I can create a local
account that uses those permissions.
What I cannot do is get IIS to authenticate only to the local account. It
insists on a domain account from a workstation logged into the domain. I
have not tried it from a workstation not logged into the domain.
I created an access list of domain users that have access to this directory
and it works fine. What I wanted to do was use non-domain account
authenticationn with a domain independent username and password.
