IIS problems

I have two NTs running IIS (Option Pack 4, SP 5). Perhaps someone can
advise?

On one server, we had to reinstall IIS and now every time someone browses to
the public Web site there, they either get a box demanding that they log in,
or they just get a page with a 401.1 error message saying they don't have
"credentials" to log in to the server. I made sure IIS was set up for
anonymous access, and made sure the IUSR_[machine name] account was added in
NTFS. No luck.

The other server is a private development server with loopback problems.
Netscape Navigator can resolve localhost or 127.0.0.1 just fine, but
Internet Explorer can't do it. I made sure that both were configured the
same; no LAN settings, no proxy settings. Very odd. I tried ipconfig and
route print but have not seen anything obviously wrong.
