IIS and NetworkExplorer are (generally) mutually exclusive; this is 
definitely true if you have IIS set up to enforce NTLM authentication. 
NetworkExplorer will perform its own NTLM authentication against the 
domain controller.  You can try to set IIS to perform *no* 
authentication (allowing the NetworkExplorer servlet to do it instead), 
but recent posts have indicated problems with this approach (IIS tends 
to "hijack" the NTLM authentication process, even when it is configured 
not to use NTLM).

Your best bet would be to use Weblogic's own webserver on another port, 
and run NetworkExplorer on that.
