Hi,

I have site hosted under IIS 5.0 running on Windows 2000 Server w/SP4. The
site has a anonymous access allowed and "Everyone" access from ACL. Some of
the users are able to access the site whereas some dont.

What may be wrong?

Yes, I get the dialogue box asking for password in the IE. I've check
everything, Anonymous Access is allowed n 'IUSR_servername' has explicit
access too.

Please help.

Thanks

Hello,
It appears that you have both Anonymous and Integrated authentication
enabled. The reason you are being prompted is because Anonymous access is
failing and IIS is falling back on Integrated authentication
(http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;264921) . With
Integrated auth, if there are periods in the URL, the IE assumes its an
external URL and will prompt you for domain, user and password
(http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;303650).

To find out why Anonymous is failing, you have to first disable Integrated
authentication and make sure that Anonymous authentication is the only
method. Then in IE-> Tools-> Internet Options-> Advanced-> uncheck the Show
friendly http error messages option. Reopen the browser and browse the
site. What's the http error code you are seeing now?
Look in http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;318380 for
the various error codes and their meanings.

I'd recommend that you run the tool Authdiag to find out what is causing
anonymous access to fail
