Login to Sharepoint Web Application Fails?

Question

Hi,

I've installed Sharepoint (standard version) on a local server. This server runs on Windows 2008. I've created a Web application intranet.sharepoint.com I changed my host file, so that it directs to this local server.

However when I run the web Application, I'm getting a login screen and I cannot login! Do I need to activate something after creating the Web Application?

Can somebody help me with this?

Regards,

G. Jerry

Sometimes a login screen that does not do anything is caused by a SQL connection problem. Try logging in with FireFox instead of IE. That may cause the error message to be sent to the browser.
