I have always thought that using the termi "windows authentication" referred
to the fact that you were authenticating to a windows account, and that it
qualified for both basic and NTLM. If I was incorrect, then I apologize.

Now ...

I have tried your suggestion, and I can get it to work under one context,
but not another. For isntance, when I authenticate the user on Server A,
and then have them click a button that redirects them to Server B, I get
prompted for login credentials. However, if I use a client-side vbScript to
redirect the user (window.location = "path.aspx"), then it works correctly.

Am I doing something incorrectly, or will this not work for response
redirect?

Thankis,

Wade
