ASP.NET Windows-based authentication won't work in IE6

Question

I've built an intranet app, using windows-based authentication, and it won't authenticate using the instance of IE6 that is installed on the box - Firefox has no problems, and a sysadmin has successfully got in using IE7. I have ticked 'Enable Integerated Windows Authentication', I have added the url to the intranet zone list, and set this zone to the lowest possible security (changed to Low, then went down a ticked it to allow absolutely everything!).

I am using a simple 'hello world' app to test, and even this will not work:

web.config:

<snip> <authentication mode="Windows"/>      <authorization>    <deny users="?"/>    <allow users="*"/>   </authorization>

default.aspx:

<snip>
<%=Page.User.Identity.Name%>

Does anyone know what settings I'm missing?

Cheers! Mark

I've got both ASP and ASP.Net to work in IE6: some details are here (see particularly the link in the accepted answer)
