I'm having some trouble making Share easily accessible via Internet Explorer. For reference, I'm running Alfresco 3.3 CE as an intranet site from my Windows XP SP3 machine. My machine name is zbennett_XP and its IP address is 192.168.100.62. I've configured Alfresco and Share to run from port 80, so there is no need to include the port number in the URL.
The problem is that Internet Explorer won't log into Share when accessing my machine by its name. This would be the most ideal option for my users, but it's the only option that doesn't work right now! It does display the Share log in page, but it simply won't log in - the page just "flashes" briefly as if the Refresh button is being clicked (it doesn't even give any errors). I suspect this is an issue with IE's security settings, but from what I can see, everything should be fine (intranet zone security is set to minimum, and IE does say "Local intranet" in the status bar at the bottom). Additionally, the standard Alfresco site (not Share) can be logged in to even though Share can't be logged in to. Some examples:
