I've used Intergrated Windows Authentication before but have been
troubleshooting why a site of mine suddenly stopped working. This required
Integrated Windows Authentication, and no other security was required. This
was working for those computers who were already in the domain, but any
computer outside the domain, could not gain access. After researching this,
I simply tried checking the "Anonymous" box as well, and everything started
working again.

Why is it that a site that should only require Int Winows Auth also requries
that "Anonymous" users be allowed as well?

thanks, j
