Cannot connect to Web Server from different Domain

Hi folks,

We have two domains in here and are currently migrating users from Domain A to Domain B.

We have a trust relationship setup between the two and are using Windows Integrated Security for Authentication.

My IIS Server is in Domain A.

I can connect to the webserver using User X in Domain A without any problems.
I have created user Y in Domain B with same privileges as X has but I get prompted to authenticate to the server when I try to connect.
Both Domain Users groups from A and B have access to the server (have been made members of local Users group).
Currently the only way I have to get this working is to include user Y in the local Admins group on the server.

Can anyone help - we are in a bit of a pickle !

Cheers.

PS Anonymous access is a no-no - very security concious!
 
So it doesn't work if user Y types in their credentials for domain B ?
 
That's correct but the idea of using Windows Authentication is that they shouldn't be prompted for userid/password at all.

Cheers,
