title: Login to Sharepoint Web Application Fails?
body: <p>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. </p>
  
  <p>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?</p>
  
  <p>Can somebody help me with this?</p>
  
  <p>Regards,</p>
