He SAYS no login box....What if you advice him to install firefox, and open only ONE browser, and try again....Maybe he was loaded with screens, and never saw it....

Have you had him clear out his stored passwords in IE?

As far as I know the 401 error should trigger a login box... the msg you see if you fail (say) 3 times is actually returned each time; the browser only displays it after 3 failed attempts.

Maybe some internal variable is fubar and it thinks you've already tried 3 times

Sounds like an error in the formating of error statements in the .htaccess file.

i'm using the new ie7 beta and it wont popup login boxes for anything , its like they removed it

**prodiac** · 01-06-2006, 08:57 AM

Did you check Pennywize stats to see if his IP or username was blocked for some reason? I'm betting Pennywize is sending him the 401.

Switch to Strongbox.

Have him try this list

This is either a cache issue or a security settings issue.

If it is a cache issue is it is unusually from entering a incorrect login and password a few times.
If you have Netscape close all browser windows and try again.
If you have Microsoft Internet Explorer you will need to reboot your computer.

If it is a security issue with IE

Go to the menu line on the top of your browser
select tools
select Internet options
select the security tag
be sure you have Internet zone set to medium, low or custom but not High security

If you are custom click on the button on the bottom that says "Custom Level"
Scroll to the bottom of the list and check to be sure login is set to either "Automatic login only in Intranet Zone" or "Prompt for user name and password"
