SYMPTOMS
========

When you use Netscape Navigator 2.0 to access a Microsoft Internet Information
Server using the Windows NT Challenge/Response password authentication, a dialog
box appears that requests your user name and password. After you enter the
correct user name and password, the following error message appears:

  Error: Access is Denied

CAUSE
=====

Netscape Navigator 2.0 does not support the Windows NT Challenge/Response
password authentication even though it does prompt you for a user name and
password.

RESOLUTION
==========

To correct this problem, use Anonymous or Basic user authentication in Internet
Information Server.
