.NET - IIS 6.0 - Windows 2003 Server

Hi everyone -

I am trying to find a solution to an issuing that has been plaguing my
Intranet site for a few months now.

We are running the following environment -

IIS 6.0 on a Windows 2003 Server
Logon for the network is a Windows 2000 Server running XP Professional
The Intranet is in a .NET environment with ASP pages utilizing an Oracle
Database

The issue:

When people open up the Intranet in IE they shouldn't have to enter a
password (unless we have a secure area of the Intranet). Their network
passwords should suffice and it has worked in almost everyone's case.

However, some people open up IE to get to the Intranet and get a logon
screen that automatically defaults as:

MYINTRANET\userID and asks for their password. If they enter their network
password, it doesn't work and a 401 error is return saying they're not
authorized.

If I manually type this in in the logon screen -

NETWORKDOMAIN\userID and their password, then voila they get in.

I had a user who, up until yesterday, had no problem getting into the
Intranet. Today when she tried, it acted up and now she has to sign in using
an alternate method as shown above.

The only difference that she told me was that she tried to enter a "secured"
area of the site which hasn't been "fixed" yet to be for managers only.

I'd like to work with the Network Admin and the Web Developer to get this
working ASAP.

Can anyone assist me?

Thanks!!

Cordially,

Add the intranet network domain to the Intranet group in IE so it will
pass credentials.

IIS tries to first use the anonymous user account. If this user account is
denied access to the requested resource, it will need a username and
password.

So, if this is an unprotected part of your Intranet (which my
understanding of your message is true), then the anonymous account does
not have read/write permissions on the request
