    Morning all,

    I have a strange issue when trying to access a site collection directly from our WSS server.  When we browse to the site, we are prompted for a login.  No account I enter works at all (have tried site collection owner account, farm account, setup account etc).
    However, when I access the site from a workstation, I can get access no problem at all with no login request showing.
    I logged into the server using my own AD account to test that but got the login prompt again.

    Any ideas?  I'm guessing it may be an Internet Explorer issue on the server itself.

    Using:
    WSS 3.0 SP2
    IE 8

    Managed to find a solution:

    Needed to add a registry entry to disable loopback check and after a reboot, now working as expected.

    Start|Run|regedit
    Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE|SYSTEM|CurrentControlSet|Control|Lsa
    Right-click and create a new DWORD labelled: DisableLoopbackCheck and assign a value of 1.
    Reboot.
