Actually, I was receiving the same error but you will find that it occurs
only in IE 4 and above or Netscape 6 pr1 and newer builds. It works
properly in Netscape 4.x (displays the popup window allowing
authentication).
Maybe this helps, maybe it doesnt, just thought I would throw it out there.
Take care,
