Hello all....I am quite stumped on the following scenario.

We have one wb server that hosts are intranet site. Internally the server
name is www. We have a subweb of that site called po. Each users default home
page is set to http://www/po. Works fine for all Internal Users.

The same server is accessible from the outside via static mappings and is
accessible at www.pennoni.com. To get to the intranet site you need to type
in www.pennoni.com/po.

The site is a subweb of the default web site and has Integrated
Authentication turned on only. Internally it works fine.

Here is the kicker: Externally it works fine from any computer that was
never on the domain. What I mean is, any laptop user who access the intranet
from within the company, then brings his computer home and trys to access the
same website with the proper external name using his or her dial up,
broadband connection gets a page not found. If that same user jumps on their
home computer and trys to access it works fine.

To sum up, laptop users who access the intranet site using http://www/po go
home and try to access the intranet with the public name (www.pennoni.com/po)
it does not work. They get a page not found. This is only happening with my
laptop users.

Note: If I change authentication to basic authentication it works fine for
everyone but then my internal users get prompted for their credentials which
we do not want.

Please advise.

Thank you.
