Problem accessing Public Folders via Web Access

[washintj]

I have a fresh install of Windows 2000 AS, Project Server
2002, SQL 2000 & Analytical Server, and IIS including all
available service packs on a single stand-alone server (no
domain exist). I can logon directly to the server
as "Administrator" to access "Public Documents", however
when I attempt to logon and access "Public Documents" from
another machine, intranet or extranet, I receive the
following error:

"Microsoft Project Web Access Documents and Issues are
based on SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft.

There is a problem establishing a connection with the Web
server running SharePoint Team Services. Please contact
your system administrator."

I re-ran "proxycfg" without incident, however, I still
receive the error mentioned above. I have not made any
modifications to users or groups. The installation is
pretty-much vanilla.

Has anyone experienced this issue? What is the cause and
what can I do to fix it?? Direct replies to
[email protected] is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Ted:

When you logon using the built-in Project Server Administrator account,
you're not passing a correct Windows account to the server from the client
machine. Because SharePoint only works with Windows Auth, you can't connect.
The reason why you can connect when logging in at the server is that you
also log onto the server as a local administrator and therefore have access
to everything. Once you establish Windows accounts on your server and
publish projects using them, you will not see this message.
