Hi

I have developed an asp.net Intranet application for use by various of our
European subsidiaries. Some users accessing the app in different countries
but via the same NT domain are receiving logon prompts (like Basic
Authentication) whilst others are getting into the site via NTLM no problem.

I'm assuming that the logon box is presented due to a Windows Authentication
logon timeout occurring where some European countries have slow links into
our hosting server?

The setup is:
- Internet Explorer 6 (all users)

- IIS5: Window Authentication ONLY turned on (no anon access)

 - web.config for app:
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<identity impersonate ="true" />

Can anyone shed any light on this please? If it is a logon timeout issue can
I extend the timeout to avoid the users getting a logon box appearing?

thanks

Bob
