Weird login issue with Sharepoint 2010 site

I am facing a weird authentication issue for an intranet sharepoint 2010 site.

When a user from site owner group tries to access the site by this URL, http://machine name:1111/ a windows credential pops up, even if user provides correct login details, he is not able to log in. But when user tries to access this URL, http://machine name:1111/SitePages/Home.aspx he is able to login successfully.

The site uses classic authentication mode.

Please let me know, what could be the reason for such strange behaviour.

Regards Naimish

Got it resolved now.

The physical directory should have 'Read' rights for Everyone. In my case, the folder 1111 has this rights removed. I have given the said rights and its working fine now.
