Re: always being prompted for username/password??!!??

Since servers are always obligated to ask for username/password for secured
resources, being prompted for username/password indicates a user
misconfiguration.

For example, IE will choose to not auto-authenticate if your server name has
"dots" in it:

If only domain admins will work, then you need to check ACLs of the file
resources on the server to make sure it gives access to the appropriate
users.

hi there, this has got to be a complete noob questions but it is driving
me
insane. I have a win2k3 server box and winxp box on a network - very
simple
setup. win2k3 is dc, dhcp, dns, iis and winxp is client on this domain.
everytime i attempt to view webpage on server from ie on client, it
prompts
me for a username/password and only the domain admins will work. it even
prompts for a username/password when logged in as the administrator on the
server! is there a reason for this, it has got integrated windows
authentication selected on iis but this is default i gather as i didn't
tick
it.

tia,
BW
