Hi Stephen,
Checkout the following....
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=258063
Basically IE has to send the credentials to the webserver so that server
can authenticate. In cases where you are in the Intranet and your website
address is something like
http://mywebapp.mycompany.com, since it is dotted
notation, IE thinks it is an Internet address and will not pass the
credentials. Hence IIS sends back a 401 response. The easy (and
recommended) solution is to add the url to "Sites" section in the "Local
Intranet Zone" under "Security" tab in IE. The other option is to go into
"Custom Level" under "Security" tab and select "Automatic logon with
current username and password" under the "User Authentication" section
(default will be "Automatic logon only in Intranet zone").
HTH,
