Login problem

[rich]

Using IE 6:

On this page, when I click on login, I can see the password box quickly
display and then disappear, and then an 401 Authorization Required page
appears.

http://www.peocalifornia.org/

In the security settings, "Prompt for username and password" is checked.

I don't have this problem on other sites that require username/password.

I tried on another machine and IE 6 did the same, but was able to log in
using Opera and Netscape.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi,
Are you on a network at work, school, etc? The firewall may be blocking the
authentication request.

Hope this helps,

No, homes systems, - one system has a firewall (mine) and IE is
permitted outbound on any port/address.

The other system has no firewall.

thanks,

Hi rich,
[Guesses]
Disable, as a test, third-party security, privacy, ad-blocking programs. One
of them may be causing this.

Running Ad-aware Pro? The "Block pop-ups" feature sometimes allows a window
to open momentarily before closing it.

Turn on the windows Firewall (Control Panel> Windows Firewall) and disable
(as a test) your third-party firewall.

Internet Options> Security> Internet Zone, try resetting to Default.

Search the Cookies folder and delete any cookies from that site.

If using XP, Control Panel> User Accounts> {username}> Manage network
passwords. Remove old or unused passwords or remove all saved passwords.

(Freeware) Protected Storage PassView from NirSoft:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/pspv.html Remove any stored passwords for that
site.
