Re: access issue

Sounds like you are running into this behaviour:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=258063

The website requires authentication. In the case of http://servername your application meets all the requirements for IE to attempt auto-logon. with http://ip.address the site is in the "internet" security zone by default, and IE does not attempt autologon.

Cheers

Thanks Ken. I probably was not clear in my question. I am a novice with IIS.

The url http://servername/appname works fine, but if I put in
http://serverip/appname, i get a pop up box for credentials. We user a round
robin DNS entry that uses the ip addresses of the server to "balance" the
load. Since the http://serverip/appname link asks for credentials, the DNS
entry does as well. All works fine if the user goes to
http://servername/appname

Hi,

\\servername\app is a UNC path. It is not a HTTP URI. IIS does not serve
requests based on UNC paths (that's the responsibility of the CIFS/SMB
server). IIS only serves requests that start with http://... (or ftp:// or
https://... etc)

Cheers
Ken
