I had a similar problem and it turned out to be the authentication
methodology. In my case, the symptoms were that FP 2003 would insist that FP
Server Extensions 2002 were not installed on my W2k3 server. I host my own
web server so I can get directly at everything I needed to.
Open the IIS Manager.
Right click on 'Default Web Site'
Select Properties
This brings up the properties dialog.
Click on Directory Security
Click on the Authentication and access control group's Edit button.
Enable anonymous access should be enabled if you wish for anyone to read
your web site.
Basic authentication (password is sent in clear text) should be enabled if
you want to provide access to FP via a network authentication logon box.
