How do I stop IIS6.0 from prompting for a username and password?  enable
anonymous access is checked and integrated Windows authenication is also
selected.

With anonymous access enabled, make sure that the iusr_computername user has
at least READ NTFS permissions on the requested files.

Bernard,

That checks out ok.  This server was working fine in the lab.  It was
shipped to production and I think this started after they joined the server
to the domain.  it started prompting for a username and password, so they
removed it from the domain, but it still had the same results.  That's when
they called me.

Add the "authenticated users" local machine account to the perrmisions
to the directory and reset the parent permission to propagate to
contents. That worked for me.

Yes, you saying the iusr account has read permission on the files but yet
you still get prompt? in that case, i would suggest you get filemon
(sysinternals.com) and start tracing the access error.

I too am having this problem.
I just installed SP1 on my 2003 Server (with IIS). Now from the local
machine I repeatedly get prompted for credentials for local web sites. Only
Integrated Windows authentication is enabled and I am using the
Administrator account so it should not be a permissions issue. Interestingly
(and fortunately), the site works from other machines across the network,
only the local machine gets the prompts. If I remove Windows Authentication
and enable Basic Authentication, I get prompted once, then the site works.
Since the site works remotely, I think it must have something to do with the
local Internet Explorer. I added the site to the Intranet zone and it looks
like it is set for automatic login, but it never sends the windows
credentials, even if you enter the at the prompt.
Any ideas? Maybe I need to uninstall SP1?
