So my choices are: (A) Convince the web site administrator to change their authentication mechanism, (B) Don't use a proxy, or (C) Bypass the proxy for any site that uses NTLM authentication, which means fiddling with the firewall for a bunch of crappy sites. Not much of a choice. There has to be a way around this, otherwise proxy servers are useless. Sorry to sound like I'm ranting, but this kind of one vendor breaking things for others junk is for the birds. Scott
