FYI: Sharepoint has nothing to do with IIS -- it is a separate product built
on top of IIS.

Default configuration uses Integrated authentication and should work that
way be default.

Common Mistake:
Can you give the actual URL you use to access the website. IE will not
auto-login if you give a URL whose server name has dots in it (it thinks it
is Internet and does not auto-login by default there). i.e.
http://server.local/SharepointSite1

If that doesn't solve it, can you give the web log entries that correspond
to your requests that trigger the password popup. They will be in
%windir%\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC#\*.log where # is the ID of the Sharepoint
Website (you figure this out from within IIS Manager UI, not Sharepoint's
Administration UI which abstracts this sort of detail away from you).

I have SharePoint installed on Windows Server 2003. I'm accessing it form
IE6
on a Windows XP computer logged into the same domain as the server. I'm
attempting to configure it so that I don't get prompted for a username and
password; however, nothing I do seems to work. I've tried integrated Windows
authentication, and digest authentication.
We have a single forest, a single tree, a single site, and a single domain.
Any suggestions, or any additional information I can provide?
Thanks!
