IIS 6 Integrated Windows Authentication does not work with IP address?

[flavor2008]

I set up a web site in IIS 6.0 on windows 2003. The web site uses Integrated Windows Authentication. This is to enable users access the site with their OS credentials. I created a DNS name that is used to access the site. Its been working fine, but today the site came up with "The page cannot be displayed " error message. I noticed that with the server name the site can be browsed, but with DNS name or IP address the site comes up with "The page cannot be displayed " error.

Pls what could have caused this and how do i resolve the problem?

Does the server name resolve to the same IP you are typing in?

Yes the server name resolves to the IP address

Can't tell you what the exact problem is. Check the event log on the server. Had a problem like this recently and it was because of a time synchronization issue on the server (long shot on your case here).

Post what you find and we can go from there.
