This is probably a silly question to most but hey I just don't know... My test bed. Window 2000 Server Domain Controller Sp2 with two firewall clients. Window NT workstation 4.0 sp 6 and Windows 98 SE. My firewall clients are on my private network. When using Digest Authentication w/o "Ask unauthenticated users for identification" checked. I am not prompted for user id on "Outgoing Web Requests" and I can access the web going through my proxy. Once I check "Ask unauthenticated users for identification" and prompted for user ID I enter in administrator id and password, but it won't give me access. It works fine with Basic and Intergrated. For Digest Authentication I do have a domain controller on the local proxy. I don't understand why I am not getting access. Do I have to have "Ask unauthenticated users for identification" checked to use Digest/Basic/Intergrated authen.? Or can I just check those alone and be authenticated. I don't think I am every asked for user authentication w/o "Ask unauthenticated users for identification" checked. Phil Thanks
