More info (in case Heath is around): 1. I found one offending program - MS Entourage. ON startup and at intervals during using it, it obviously uses HTTP for something (unrelated to actually reading any emails) ... this will return the "Unexpected server response in NTLM authentication Step 2. Giving up." Could it be Entourage can do NTLM so a proxied NTLM request fails?
2. Certain websites will cause the same error - no idea. What I dod know is that certain sites (usually have .asp or .jsp page references) also cause the error. There must be a problem with the authoxy code though....because after a certain # of these errors (it varies), Authoxy stops responding and delivers the Fatal Error: unable to create shared memory Steve On Friday, February 04, 2005, at 11:03AM, Steve Hodson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Steve, > thanks for the reply.
