Hi

Can you post your web.config file here?
If its just set to no auth mode then you can also look at the IIS
application how it is defined, explanation:

Application running on "integrated windows authentication" (directory
security in IIS admin console) will allow localhost to automatically
use your login credentials when running the application (your browser
settings allow that in local network).
When it is an external application (internet), if the setting in IIS
is not anonymous it will request authentication but your browser
(realizing that it is on the internet) will not auto authenticate and
possibly not ask you to log in but just return 401...

The right settings in your web.config should be "None" and Allow=* and
also in IIS u should tick BOTH Anonymous AND Integrated Windows
Authentication - only those two...

Cannot think of anything else at the moment but let me know if that
helps...

Cheers
