We're using IIS 5.0 (moving to 6.0) and have had an ongoing issue with logins.

When people log in, they need to include the login domain name as the userID:

      logindomain\userID

If the domain is not included, the login screen redisplays with the machine
name:

     machinename\userID

I've been playing around with the IIS authentication settings. I'm using
Basic with the logindomain as the Basic Authentication domain. I also use
Integrated Windows Authentication. But I've yet to find a setting that
allows you to login as userID without the domain name. At best, it works on
machines on a certain one of our networks, but not on others, and never
coming over the Internet.

How should this be set up so the domain name is not required when logging on
with your basic Windows 2-tier's login?
