IIS Access Control

I have a site hosted on IIS 6.0. The home directory of the site is hosted on
a remote NAS share. For the security of this site, I use "Intergrated Windows
Authentication" and for the NAS connection I choose use another account for
authorization.

When we try to visit this site, it always prompt me to enter user name and
password. On the NAS, the NTFS is set for "everyone" has full control. I
don't know why I have to enter user name and password to access this site.
Will IE browser automatically pass my login credentials to IIS?

Thanks.

"Will IE browser automatically pass my login credentials to IIS?"

Only if IE thinks that the site is on the local intranet or if the
site is explicitly configured in the Trusted Sites. Try adding the URL
to the Trusted Sites and see if that helps.
