Re: credentials prompt accessing list anonymously

It's set up to be anonymous access so people can access it with (default) Reader functionality without needing to give credentials.
As soon as they want to create an Announcement they are doing more than Read so they need credentials.
So the real questions is why you are not being asked for credentials when accessing internally. The answer is almost certainly that IE is set up for the Intranet security zone to use current name and password.
In other words I see nothing to suggest that asking for a credential prompt for your external users is "surprising".

I am having issues with a site that's set up to have anonymous access. Everyone can access the site great (the whole application is set to anonymous), all of the pages are great. But when someone outside of the office wants to add an annoucement to a List, for example, they get a surprising credential prompt. It's the oddest, and most frustrating, thing.
Any thoughts?
As a note, when I am internal, I do not get a prompt. I have anonymous access enabled in IIS but also Windows Authentication. I have tried adding and taking off Digest and Basic, but the user still has the same issue.
