I am using  IIS 5.0 on Windows 2000. I have set up a web site and it has been
working fine. To access web-site o uses a URL like:
https://pqms1.xyz.com

Some of users do not have DNS, so they are using ip address instead of
server name,
https://10.4.3.106

However when IP adrress is used, a Windows Authentication Login screen pops
ups. However, users do not have windows account because it is an exranet web
site.)
