FrontPage 2003 constantly prompts for username and password

[SagaSue]

I am unable to publish my web site, as FrontPage keeps prompting me for my
username and password, even though I have already entered them correctly. My
web hosting server accepts FrontPage extensions and I have set the User
Authentication setting in IE7 to prompt for a username and password. I
selected the FrontPage option on the Remote Web Site Properties page and my
remote web site location is correct. As soon as I click on the OK button, the
username prompt appears. No matter how many times I enter my username and
password, the prompt keeps appearing.

Have you contacted your web host about this?

If you just upgraded to IE7, you should read this:

Yes, that was the first option that I tried. They don't seem to know what is
causing the problem. I have tried temporarily disabling my firewall, but that
did not resolve the problem.

Unfortunately this solution didn't make any difference. Thanks anyway

One more thing you could try is to delete the entry for your site from "My
Network Places" on your PC.
