You should never be using basic auth over http as everything is in cleartext. You would have had to 1 enable basic auth support and 2 disable the encryption check on the Windows host which should tell you this isn't recommended. You can set ntlm as the auth type (transport) as that will at least give you some message encryption even if it isn't great. We also have scripts you can use to setup a https listener so everything is encrypted by TLS.
Potentially your problem is that you are authenticating with a domain account which does not work with basic authentication. If that is the case you should be using kerberos as it's a lot more secure and is recommended by Microsoft. You could use ntlm but like the above it is an older protocol and not 100% secure against something who knows what they are doing. If it is a local account then I don't know what else to say, if Windows is saying the username or password is incorrect then they are the definitive source on validating it.
