 Dynamic Permissions and Guest Access?

If I use the static permissions, it lets me edit the <guest> permissions and when I go to a url that <guest> has access to (escalations_add.asp), it will login as <guest> (also the login as guest option displays on the login page)
but when I select dynamic permissions, i see the <guest> and <default> user groups but I am unable to assign them to a user and if I go to a url such as (escalations_add.asp) it will just say that my login session expired and need to login.
I am at a loss on how to correct this. I really want to use dynamic permsissions instead of static.

You cannot assign <guest> and <default> groups to any specific user. These are special groups.
Guest is the user without login. <default> is a special group, all users that do not belong to any specific group will be assigned to <default> group.

Thanks,
I figured as much but when I use dynamic permissions and the individual does not have a login/password and they attempt to access a link (ex. escalations_add.asp) it prompts them to login although guest access has view rights to it.
Also it does not put a login as guest on the login page like it does with static permissions.

I fixed it , it was something I added at the begining that was not closed in brackets.
Thanks!
