[jcifs] Authentication issue with IE 6.0, inconsistent username and password prompting

[Juliana]

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for the information,. Yes, my site is an intranet site, I've done
the steps you asked me to but I am still receiving the pop up password
window. :(

I will still try to find out if there are any configuration I've missed out
in IE but at the mean time, any other idea?

:(
