How do I get rid of an "Authentication Required" window in IIS 5? The website http://www.maconhousing.com asks for a user name and password only on the default.aspx page. I'm trying to get it so it does not show up at all. If you just click Cancel or hit the Esc key, it goes away, but it's confusing to users. It's hosted on their web server running IIS 5, if that helps at all. I published it to a server running IIS 6 to test and it does not ask for a user name and password. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the article, chazzy. I've forwarded it on to the server admin, so hopefully this gets resolved. I'll post the results when I find out.
