Author When I use ip address for the URL, it requires Windows Authenticat

I am using IIS 5.0 on Windows 2000. I have set up a web site and it has been
working fine. To access web-site o uses a URL like:
https://pqms1.xyz.com

Some of users do not have DNS, so they are using ip address instead of
server name,
https://10.4.3.106

However when IP adrress is used, a Windows Authentication Login screen pops
ups. However, users do not have windows account because it is an exranet web
site.)

Hi,

I am not sure if I understand the question. This site should be accessed
anonymously? If so, then make sure that on the properties of you site (in
IIS) under Directory Security under Authentication select Enable Anonymous
Access...
