IIS 6.0 Authentication issue

I'm running a Windows 2003 Server with IIS 6.0, i use SQL Server 2000 for my database. We have a web application written in ASP.Net, as part of our application we have a search screen so that we can search for information in our database. Searches all work great if they are short simple searches. . . but some queries take a long time to return results, and what will happen is IIS will display a Logon window, as if it forgot who you were or something, and asks you to login again, and when you do, nothing happens, it'll either just give you a white screen with no search results, or give you a page not found error 401. Keep in mind, these searches work fine when they only take a few seconds to a minute or two, if they take more than a couple minutes you are almost guaranteed to get this puzzling logon dialog asking you to authenticate again. We are using Windows Authentication in web.config.

Here is the login screen i get presented with,
Anyone have any clue???

Thanks in advance!!

Forgot to mention, we had this application running on an IIS 5.0 platform before we upgraded oru server, and we never once ran into this problem. Dont knwo why IIS 6.0 is doing this.

THanks

Hi,

I did get this once.
Are you sure that Anonymous Access is unchecked and Integrated windows authentication is checked in the directory security for the site.

IIS>Site>Properties>directory security>edit>

Cheers,
