I'm not an administrator, but I play one on TV...<br>
<br>
Anyway, I have a protected directory on my web server (IIS) and have several users accessing it with no problem with Internet Explorer 4 and 5. You request the page, get a password dialog box, input your username and password, and viola, you're in...<br>
<br>
I have one user who is set up with IE5 and Windows 95. She requests the page, inputs her username and password and... the dialog box pops back up. (After three tries, she gets an error telling her she's not authorized)... We've tried my user info and get the same error. I'm sure I'm missing something simple (see above), but:<br>
<br>
Anyone know how any settings or whatnot (IE or NT) that will let her into this directory?????<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.
 
We are experiencing the same Error on a Laptop.<br>
<br>
Is the computer a Laptop?<br>
<br>
We never did figure it out. <br>
Called Microsoft and everything.<br>
Un-installed, Re-installed etc. etc. etc.<br>
We gave up.<br>
We have a WEB site which has some 200 different people from all over the world accessing it and this is the ONLY computer that will not get on.<br>
<br>
<br>

 
Nope. It's a desktop.... <br>
<br>
We did the same thing. Re-Installed IE, checked her settings (in IE) against mine and set them to be exactly the same. There has to be some setting somewhere in Win95 that will allow logging into an NT box...
 
Is the PC concerned listed as being in the same domain? i.e. client for MS has the domain box filled with the correct name. The user name that is used to log in has the correct priviledges (I always log in with administrator privs in a case like this cos it shows a privs prob).<br>
<br>
Also, check the protocols running on the PC. Is the stack the same as the others and you don't have NetBEUI running over IP, or IPX over IP?
 
I've run across something like this while using FrontPage to access sites from different PCs. For me, the answer was to add the domain in the login process... Sometimes the login menu has a separate text window for entering the user domain, other times you'll need to enter the login name as: domain\username<br>
