"Have to authenticate" as in "are requested for credentials when normally OS-pass-through authentication happens automatically", or "have to authenticate" as in "I don't even have the server configured to require authentication". If the former: I'd go with Ed Ziots's suggestion of checking MSIE security settings. A bare name like "intranet" gets put into the "Intranet Zone" by default, but a fully-qualified name like "intranet.company.net" is not. And by default, MSIE will not try pass-through NTLM authentication in the "Intranet Zone". Either way: Are you doing name-based virtual hosting (using "Host" headers) on the server? If so, check the site names you've got configured. Your may actually be hitting a different virtual server when they request the FQDN. -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
