SharePoint authentication not working from computer other than server
I have deployed SharePoint in the past and in all other ocurances with the default setup AD users who were given access to certain sites/pages were able to just browse to the site and the site would recognize them based on how they were logged into their remote computers.I am currently setting up a demo for a client on a test netowrk and I am running into an issue where when connecting to the sharepoint site from a comptuer other than the server SharePoint is running on the user is asked to authenticate and then they are not allowed to login to the site.If I login as the user to the server, I am able to browse the site without issue, but all other domain computers are having the issue explained above.Any suggestions?Thanks in advance.

Check the Windows Firewall settings for the server.FAQ sites: (SP 2010) http://wssv4faq.mindsharp.com; (v3) http://wssv3faq.mindsharp.com and (WSS 2.0) http://wssv2faq.mindsharp.com Complete Book Lists (incl. foreign language) on each site.

The firewall is off on all systems in this network. That was one of the first things I did.
