You Cannot Access Your MSN E-mail Account or Authenticate with a Web Site in
Various Programs
When you try to access your MSN e-mail account, you may receive the
following error message:
You cannot successfully authenticate with a Web site in various programs
(for example, Windows Media Player). For example, you may be prompted for
your user name and your password several times, and you may receive the
error message that is described in this section or an other error message
from the Web site that indicates that you cannot access even after you type
the correct user name and password.

Internet Explorer Always Prompts for Authentication When Browsing to Web
Sites Already Logged on to
When you connect through a caching ISA Proxy that has anonymous access, and
you try to perform a NT LAN Manager (NTLM) Authentication with an IIS4 or
IIS5 Web server, Internet Explorer 6.0 may not automatically authenticate
with NTLM pre-authorization (preach). Instead, you may be continually
prompted to authenticate.
