Well I don't know what you expect to happen but you do realize that
you're trying to authenticate with credentials against a domain that
doesn't have a clue who you are?

What is the domain entered when you log in initially? It's the local
machine name right? In that case the DC against which youre authenticating
isn't going to have a clue who you are and choke.

For example, if you log into a home-made lab machine has MACH1\David
and then try to authenticate against the corporate domain DOM1 IE will
submit credentials for MACH1\David instead of DOM1\David so the DC is
going say "pft, I don't host passwords for domain 'MACH1'. That's a
machine account! Bye."

True. The filter should probably catch that TRUST_RELATIONSHIP_FAILED
error and send 401 to cause the Network Password Dialog to pop up. This
is the first I've encountered it.
