Authentication Failed. Please Retry.

 * Have end users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.02 with the DPA add-on for Membership.
 * Have the Internet service provider use another proxy server.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Commercial Internet System version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
