Problem establishing SSL connection in code-behind

In my web application, I need to establish an SSL connection to a
remote web site and authenticate a user using Integrated Windows
Authentication.
The remote website only allows this authentication method, and it has
only one web page: index.html, which simply says: hola, amigo.
Please note that I can check out that remote website in IE through
HTTPS connection without a problem.
I put together the following code after I did some google search. I
know it scares people away at the sight of a lengthy pasted code. But
the idea is really simple: Simply accept all certificates. That's why
ServerCertificateValidationCallback in my code always return true.
I thought that this logic is correct, but when I debug it, the VS2005
shows that the Exception message (ex.Message) says:
The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized
The really simple and easy-to-read code is as follows. Please share a
little wisdom of yours. Thanks.
