How do I best configure our iis6.0 if I want to access a
intranet site locally in the lan without entering login
and password but from the internet it must have
authentication.

Regards,
Patrik

You can use Basic or Integrated Windows Authentication. Your copies of IE on
the LAN will "auto-logon" to the server. Users on the internet will be
prompted for a username/password.

So, in actual fact, you are authenticating in both cases, but IE is doing it
automatically for you if you access the server using an "intranet" name, eg
http://server

If you access the intranet site using a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN)
or IP address, then you need to add the site to the IE "Intranet" zone:

Intranet Site Is Identified as an Internet Site When You Use an FQDN or IP
Address
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=303650

Internet Explorer May Prompt You for a Password
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=258063

are both worth reading.

Cheers

Ok. Adding the site to the intranet zone made it work.

Thanks,
