    Hello,

    I've created several ASP.NET applications for our Intranet. Since we don't
    want everyone to access all applications, I've added some limitations in the
    Web.config:

    <authorization>
    <deny users="?" /> <!-- Deny anonymous users -->
    <allow users="specialty\pafo"
    roles="specialty\Sales, specialty\IntranetAdmins, specialty\CustServ,
    specialty\IntranetArrow, specialty\IntranetArrowSales"/>
    <deny users="*"
    roles="[comma separated list ofBroles]"/>
    </authorization>

    No problem here. The problems start when our sales people try to connect to
    our applications from the outside world.

    1. They never have problems accessing them when they use broadband
    connection, for instance, DSL.

    2. But they can never connect, when they use AOL or dial-up connection. They
    always get "Access denied" error.

    This part I cannot understand. While I know that AOL could be tricky, what's
    special about dial-up? Does dial-up protocol add something special to the
    user name, so it looks like isp/username or something like this, so our
    server doesn't recognize it?

    I don't think there is something wrong with my security settings, since in
    most cases everything works just fine.

    I would appreciate your suggestions.

    Thank you,
