IIS and DNS difference with Integrated Authentication

Quick newb question, if you turn off anonymous access to the Default Website
in IIS and turn on Integrated Authentication - then if you go to
http://localhost you will get through to the site, but if you go to
http://127.0.0.1 you will need to login first - why the need for login ?

Thanks

What browser are you using? If IE, go to Tools | Internet Options |
Security Tab | Local Intranet | Sites | Add http://127.0.0.1

When you launch your browser look to the lower right corner, you'll see
either Internet, Local Intranet, or Trusted Site. If you enter in
http://localhost you'll notice that IE automatically assumes that it is
on the Local Intranet, but if you enter in http://127.0.0.1 IE assumes
that it is an Internet site. You'll also notice that if you go back
into Tools | Internet Options | Security tab | Internet | Custom Level
button | pull down to the bottom of the list under User Authentication
that Automatic logon only in Intranet Zone is selected. This means that
only when you are accessing a site in your Local Intranet zone that you
can use Integrated Authentication. If you change this to Automatic
logon with current username and password (not recommended by the way)
you will not be prompted to plug in your username and password.

I hope I explained clearly
