I am able to access our site internally only using the System Account. /using any other acount results in "you are not authorized..." I am able to access the site externally with other users.

*Just in case* you haven't tried it already - have you tried disabling the local loopback security check? If you are accessing a site with a custom host header (i.e. a URL other than the machine name) locally you will get an access denied error unless you have followed this KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861. The behaviour your describe is consistent with this given that you can access the site externally. Try these steps (pasted from the KB above): Method 1: Specify host names (Preferred method if NTLM authentication is desired) To specify the host names that are mapped to the loopback address and can connect to Web sites on your computer, follow these steps: Set the DisableStrictNameChecking registry entry to 1. For more information about how to do this, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 281308 Connecting to SMB share on a Windows 2000-based computer or a Windows Server 2003-based computer may not work with an alias name Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.

Type BackConnectionHostNames, and then press ENTER. Right-click BackConnectionHostNames, and then click Modify. In the Value data box, type the host name or the host names for the sites that are on the local computer, and then click OK. Quit Registry Editor, and then restart the IISAdmin service. HTH.
