For some reason when I have the site as a trusted zone as opposed to a local intranet zone I can't logon. When I attempt to connect to the server I get the message.

"Unexpected server response.
Project Server has returned an unexpected server response.
Click the View button to view the server response as an error in your browser."

When I click View I see the following web page

"You are not authorized to view this page
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied because your Web browser is sending a WWW-Authenticate header field that the Web server is not configured to accept.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please try the following:

Contact the Web site administrator if you believe you should be able to view this directory or page.
Click the Refresh button to try again with different credentials.
HTTP Error 401.2 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to server configuration.
Internet Information Services (IIS)"

The only way I seem to be able to get round this is to add the site as a local intranet zone, but then I run into the problem outlined in my first post.
