Hi Dave,

Are you accessing the website using http://computername/ or
http://some.fqdn.address ?
If you are using the latter, and if your browser is configured with proxy,
make sure you add the fdqn address in the bypass proxy list. If the IE is
not configure to use any proxy, you can workaround the problem by adding a
dummy proxy entry and then add the fqdn address in the bypass list.

With regards to logon auditing issye, there are 2 KBs which I beleive is
useful to you. I have provide the links to the articles below:

HOW TO: Enable IIS Logging Site Activity in Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=300390

HOW TO: Enable and Apply Security Auditing in Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=300549

Hope it helps,
Desmond
