We have 2 Webservers (Win2003) that both Prompt for a Username and password
to connect to them.

While in the Office IE connects to them just fine, IE is setup to AutoLogin
to Intranet Domains with Logged on Username and Password.

While out of the office at some internet Hotspot, you cannot connect to the
sites. You get a Page not Displayed error (not a Auth Failed Error)

The Machine you par for at the hotspot that is not part of our Domain
connects just fine, prompts for username and password and you are in like
Flin.

If I alter my Security Settings to Always Prompt For Username and Password,
then The Site will prompt me and let me in. Though this Solution works for
machines that Stay out of the office, but most are laptops that come and go.
With this setting the user is always prompted even while in the office.
That gets to be a pain.

Why is this happening?

Thanks,
