This is more commonly seen with NTLM, not basic. Check the stats in Cache Manager - are your auth helpers overloaded? I assume you already checked the basics (using correct password, caps lock is off, login prompt is for proxy - not a remote web site, etc). What browser & version? Some versions of IE are broken in this regard. See the Squid Authentication FAQ for more info on that. > As long as I'm at it I would like to modify my config (if possible), so > users only need to login once per session, no matter how many windows they > have open. How and when the user is prompted for login credentials is a browser issue, not a Squid issue. You would have to talk to your browser vendor about it. Adam
