    I have two Windows 2000 Servers. Named NT05 (production
    server) and NT06 (test server). Every two months or so,
    NT06 becomes a mirror of NT05. We install any updates,
    patches, or COM objects on NT06 before we touch NT05.

    Currently there is a situation when we send emails with
    links to ASP.NET Web Applications (I.E.
    http://www.NT05.com/depts/auto/it/HelpRequest/). When the
    user clicks on the link through Outlook 2000, the Enter
    Network Password prompt appears in Internet Explorer (5.5
    and 6.0 SP1 are the versions we use). However, if the
    user copies the link from an email and pastes it in the
    address bar of the web browser it works just fine.
    Similarly, if the user clicks on the link through Word or
    Start -> Run -> <Paste link>, it also works fine. A link
    to the same web site on NT06 works via Outlook 2000.

    This is an ASP.NET web application that has the following
    tags added to the default VS.NET web.config file:

    <identity impersonate="true" />
    <deny users="?" />
    <allow users="*" />

    I have played around with the NTFS settings as well, I
    have given full permission to ASPNET account, Everyone
    Account, Administrators account (all at different times
    for testing purposes only).

    What's even stranger is that this just started happening
    out of the blue. I do not believe that somebody has
    changed the configuration of IIS or the machine.config
    files. I'm open for any troubleshooting or suggestions
    that anybody might have.

    Thanks,
    -Paul
