Hi,

I 've got a strange problem.

I've got a intranet website who is secured with integrated security:
 - IIS is anonymous unchecked and integrated windows verification checked
 -my web.config
   <authentication mode="Windows" />
   <identity impersonate="true" />
   <authorization>
    <allow users="domain\user1, domain\user2,..." />
    <deny users="*" />
   </authorization>
 - NTFS everyone has rights to read and read/execute

Everything works fine for a month but suddenly 1 user (WIN2000, IE5), who is
allowed, gets the dialog box to put his domain/username and password in.
When hitting OK the user is denied, even if I try with other usernames who
are allowed. If the user tries on an other pc it works fine(even with an
other IE5 pc)
If I checked the log file of IIS the Username isn't send to the server.
If the user first goes to an other intern website who uses integrated
windows(everyone is allowed) and then goes back to the first one he can
access a page but only for 2 or 3 postbacks and then it's the same problem
(his Username is first shown in the log file of IIS than nothing).
A day later a second user gets the same problem both got IE5, if I install
IE5.5 the problem stays but if I install IE6 the problem is solved.

So my question is: What is going on?? First it works than ...nothing on
1client . Is it just a problem of IE5 or other versions to? If I tried on a
other pc with IE5 it still works. Strange things are happening (woooo,
spooky :-}).

Thanks for your help
? Pieter
