I have FP2002 and FP2003 on Windows XP Pro with IIS, and no login is required to access localhost.
However thinking back to FP98, it always required a login. Did you install FP under Windows XP Pro
as the administrator of the machine, and are you logging into the PC as the Admin. when you run
FP98?
