I was facing a problem with having windows credentials to be entered every time a tried to access
a website hosted on another machine.Also after entering the correct password i was not able to access the website.
I tried adding the URL to the trusted sites and also tried removing all the stored windows username
and passwords.But no luck.
On Net i then found a solution that worked for me
The problem you see is a browser issue, not an IIS one. IE won't pass credentials to a site unless it's in the intranet security zone or the same domain. IP addresses aren't a domain or machine name so IE sees them as internet zone and won't pass credentials. To fix this, add the IP address to the intranet zone in IE's security tab.
