I have a simple ASP.net Application that contains a few pages to expose data
stored in a database.
I want to use Windows Authentication to restrict acccess to the application.
The entire application seems to have been problem free for the past 2 weeks.
Now it seems that users can't log in from the internet. I can view the
application perfectly from within the domain.
Now when users hit the application from the internet, they get the Windows
login dialog (as usual), which seems to accept credentials properly, but the
default page can't be displayed.
I have 2 sites running on the webserver, so I figured I'd try putting the
application on the other site. It actually works perfectly there. There
doesn't see to be anything wrong with the first site, as other applications
seem to be working fine.
Despite all this, I'm still thinking it's an authentication issue because if
I remove <deny users="?"> from the authorization in the web.config then the
application works fine over the internet, except that the users are not
forced to authenticate (not an acceptable solution).

Anyone have any ideas what went wrong?

Thanks.
