for firefox-users, have a look at this:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris

all you have to do is navigate to your "about:config" site, search for
"network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris" and change its value.
if you do it right ntlm should work as silent as in IE.
