Hi guys, hope you can help with this one . . .

SETUP
1 Domain Controller hosting main web site (I know, I know, but will be changing this shortly!)
1 Member server hosting another web and sharepoint site

I have a few directories on the member server which I have shared via the 'Web Sharing' function within IIS and internally everything is fine when a user browses to the page. However, when an external user authenticates at first through the main web site and then attempts to access the pages on the member server they are again prompted for their username and password. I've enabled 'authenticated users' on the member servers web site though I'm obviously missing something as I guess it may be trying to authenticate to the member server rather than the domain controller!. Basically, I need the user (external) to be able to authenticate once to the main web site and have this carried over to any other authentication request.

Any help greatly appreciated.
