This is an IE configuration issue. In IE, Go to Tools -> Internet
Options -> Security -> Custom Level -> User Authentication -> Logon and make
sure it's not prompting for intranet use. You can also add your domain or
IP to the no proxy setting to get IE to recognize it as the intranet.
Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings -> Advanced.
For security configuration you need to go Tools > Internet Options >
Security > Local intranet > Sites... > Advanced > Add this web site or IP to
the zone.
