Dawie, Welcome to the squid "It's Microsoft and it's broke, so it's not our fault" list. I had the same problem and did find a work around that seems to stop the pop-up authentication. The hack is to change the registry setting MaxConnectionsPerServer to 1. This is a link for setting the registry value: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282402 I believe the squid connection pinning code is wrong but I can't get anyone to believe me.
