Bah, it was fine on my new office machine and now it has duplicate
login prompts too. :(

Okay, problem solved, you now have consistent behavior everywhere. ;-)

Ha, yeah. And two different ISPs too. So we know it is the same usenet/news server account and SeaMonkey v2.


I have not looked at this in SM-2.0.x but is it possible that you have
number of threads set to more than one, and you get asked every time a
thread connects. I'm still on 1.1.xx here, as I need functional forms,
but that seems possible.

Hmm, how is that possible? I never saw anything about multiple threads. I thought SM's newsreaders only use one thread connection at a time.

And why still on v1.1.x? :(


Does Windows have any functional network sniffer software built in?
Linux has several applications which will let you see if the AUTHINFO is
actually needed multiple times, I'm betting it is, but I have no idea why.

I tried your suggestion with the latest version of WireShark in my Windows XP Pro. SP3 system and copied and pasted from the first to the last nntp entries with other non-nntp entries:
