IIS real hostname vs. DNS alias = logon box

Hi,

I am hosting a site on IIS (port 1030)

I get a logon prompt when accessed from:

http://real-hostname:1030

But I am OK when accessed from:

http://dns-alias:1030

In fact even if I add an entry to the local host file, for example:

192.168.1.100 fakename

And access the site from:

http://fakename:1030

It works fine! I would like to use the real hostname and not be
prompted.

Thanks

Daniel

Add the real hostname to your Trusted Sites in IE, and you won't be
prompted. However, all users will have to do the same, adding to their own
local Trusted Sites list, unless you can roll out via GPO or some other
internal update to those users.
