Could it be a proxy server that is causing your problems?

Isn't this strange?  After trying the below, I'm still getting the same
access required error message.  Looking at view script, here's the HTML for
the page.

<title>401 Authorization Required</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Authorization Required</h1>
<p>This server could not verify that you
are authorized to access the document
requested.  Either you supplied the wrong
credentials (e.g., bad password), or your
browser doesn't understand how to supply
the credentials required.</p>
<hr />
<address>Apache/2.0.40 Server at 66.12.9.126 Port 26788</address>
</body></html>
<DEFANGED_script>if(document.layers){document.captureEvents(Event.M
OUSEUP);}document.onmouseup=PrxOMUp;</DEFANGED_script>

Now the question becomes why doesn't the browser on the test machine (W2K)
produce a login prompt?  Or can I select a different error message from
Apache?

BTW, I cannot telnet to the port.  I get a "cannot connect"
message.  Perhaps things are working differently inside the network versus
outside.  No .acl's in apache.conf (they're in squid, but direct access to
the server has to work first).  Without security, the web site works
perfectly.
