NTFS/Authentication Web Form Problem


NTFS/Authentication Web Form Problem elegault

iis security:
I have a website containing two pages, index.htm (which contains just one
line of text) and reviewform.htm (which is a form created in Frontpage to
save info to a db). These pages are being hosted on my WinXP IIS 5.1 Web
server. Index.htm is accessible by the IUSR_computername but reviewform.htm
requires windows authentication.

I can access the pages and even write to the db with without problem when
using the internal IP address (192.168.1.400) provided by a Linksys router.
But when I try to access those same pages using the IP address provided by
Comcast, I am prompted by the username/password field but none of the known
good usernames/passwords that I entered are accepted.

The tested accounts reside in a Web Users group which currently has full
control over reviewform.htm. It still doesn't work. Only when I give the
IUSR_computername and IWAM_computername accounts Read&Execute, List, and Read
permissions on reviewform.htm.

Can someone tell me how I can configure this reviewform.htm (which contains
a Frontpage 2003 form)so it will prompt for username/password and
authenticate properly when accessing using the IP provided by Comcast.

Thank you very much,

In addition, my web browser gives this as an error after the third failed
login attempt:
HTTP 401.1 - Unauthorized: Logon Failed

The IIS log states the following:
192.168.1.1, -, 1/30/2005, 11:17:42, W3SVC1, computername, 192.168.1.204,
16, 1526, 4246, 401, 5, GET, /reviewform.htm, -,

The first IP is my router address. I'm not exactly sure why the request is
coming from the router, not from a client IP.
