when attempting to set up my router when it time for me
tio access the router via IE 6 instead of prompting me
with a network password window it simply went to a 401
access denied error... saying invalid password etc...

how do I make IE prompt me so I can supply the info?

You Receive a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" Error Message When You Post to a
Site That Requires Authentication
Internet Explorer may not post data from a POST request and you may receive
a page cannot be displayed error message.
This problem may occur if the following conditions exist:
You perform the POST request on a new connection with a target page that
requires authentication.
The server immediately replies to the POST request with a "401 Access
Denied" response and closes the connection.
