Author Password validation problem

I am having problems with some web pages on my new
windows server 2003 standard. Certain people are being
prompted for username and password when trying to access
the homepage of out local intranet. The credentials of
the users are trying to be authenticated by the web site
instead of by the domain. How am I able to change this?
I know for a fact that all users can access this .htm
page. Where's my problem, please help!?!?

Thanks in advance,
Willy

Do you want them to be prompted for a password or not?

If you want to allow anonymous access, then go into IIS Manager, and enable
Anonymous Access. Ensure that the account that is listed there has NTFS read
permissions to the files in your website.

If you want them to be prompted for a password, then they will need to enter
their credentials as Domain\Username if you are using Integrated Windows
Authentication.

Cheers
Ken
