got a very strange issue here that is starting to really bug me. 

 

I have alternate access mappings in place for my main SharePoint site
collection.  e.g. http://siteCollection default. I also have an ip address
(for VPN users who don't use the DNS) e.g. http://xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa, and then
the machine was originally set up with a dns name of sp1 - so I also have
http://sp1.

 

On the workstations, I can access the site through any of these - though the
default and preferred is http://sitecollection. BUT, I often work using
remote access on the server, and for some reason, it won't authenticate me
on http://sitecollection while working on this server. It's a virtual
server, so I have even manually added the ip to the hosts file in case there
is a dns issue. I can "ping sitecollection" without an issue, but when I try
to access http://sitecollection, I am prompted for a username and password
(even though its windows authentication) and regardless of the login details
I provide (mine, or the farm admin account) I can't get the page to load.

 

Any suggestions on what could be wrong here? It seems so simple - but I am
out of ideas.
