I'm running Panther on both.
There may in fact have been a custom icon in the sidebar for a
network folder.

It was not possible to type the password into the prompt if it even
managed to load.
Oddly enough if I opened an app, textedit, and clicked on Open a
password prompt would appear and I could login with this particular 
prompt.
