You can use Basic or Integrated Windows Authentication. Your copies of IE on
the LAN will "auto-logon" to the server. Users on the internet will be
prompted for a username/password.

So, in actual fact, you are authenticating in both cases, but IE is doing it
automatically for you if you access the server using an "intranet" name, eg
http://server

If you access the intranet site using a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN)
or IP address, then you need to add the site to the IE "Intranet" zone:

Intranet Site Is Identified as an Internet Site When You Use an FQDN or IP
Address
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=303650

Internet Explorer May Prompt You for a Password
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=258063

are both worth reading.

Cheers
