Hi all, I look after an intranet site. Our server is Windows 2000 running IIS 5. Access to pages on our intranet has always been done using the Anonymous Account. This has now got to change so I disabled Anonynous Access and changed the permissions on the
root directory to allow the group Domain Users access. This has not worked and all users are prompted for their user name and password. The strange thing is if I grant access to individual accounts no username or password is required.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Jon

Add the domain to the Intranet zone in IE's security settings.

can you browse the web page after entering your credentials or does it say
something like Access denied. The web server and the users most be on the
same domain.

Thanks for your reply Gonenc. Both Server and users are in the same domain. After credentials have been entered the page is displayed. - Jon
