Hmm, I tried the site with IE5.5.
Same thing: Access is denied.

Seems a server problem.

Well, with IE 6.0, I get the authentication dialog every time.

the problem is that the server will only accept NTLM authentication, which is
not implemented in mozilla.

  HTTP/1.1 401 Access Denied..Server: Microsoft-IIS/4.0..Date: Fri, 26 Apr 20
  02 18:47:36 GMT..WWW-Authenticate: NTLM..Content-Type: text/html..Cache-con
  trol: private..Transfer-Encoding: chunked....

This authentication "NTLM" is microsoft only. 
No wonder that IE6 supports it !

We try to implement this .... (see 23679 )
