Authentication

I am running some applications in IIS 6, and it is required that I use
the client's credentials, thus negating the use of Anonymous
Authentication. In my development environment, I am running IIS 5 and
I can run the applications using Windows Integrated Authentication, but
when I push the applications into production II 6, the only way I can
get the applications to run is to use Digest Authentication, which
prompts the client for login everytime a piece of information is
retrieved. Any ideas on why I can't use Windows Integrated
Authentication?

What happens when you use Windows Integrated Authentication? What goes
wrong?

All i can say is that IIS 6.0 supports this authentication method.

When I run under Windows Integrated Authentication and try to access an
ASP.NET applcation, the browser displays "Cannot find server or DNS
Error
Internet Explorer". As soon as I change it to Anonymous
Authentication, the browser finds the application, but since the
application uses the users identity, the user is rejected by the
application. With Digest Authentication, the application is found, but
I am prompted for login 5 times just on the first page.
