popup window authentication

I am having a problem with a browser (IE 5).  Using NT authentication on the website, when a user logs in the first time, no problem.  But when the site displays a popup window (different places in the website) the browser displays another authentication window and asks for username and password.  Any clues?

Any help would be appreciated.

Let me mguess, the pop-up script is not in the same directory as the initial page...

Take a look as to how you have set-up your authentications in the root dir.  If you have authentication in the root dir, you don't need it anywhere else unless there are special group permissions needed on that dir.

This is a browser (or at least client side) issue for sure...other users have no problem but this one user does (it is a remote user that i am trying to help over the phone)

Thanks...
Another guess ....

Different parts of your website are created as real websites, and not as part of the main website.

Like when you create a new solution in VInterDev, and you place it on <server>\SomeFolder.
The pages on <server> will be able to link to them, but in fact, it's another web.

So settings could be different on that.

To assist you in your cleanup, I'm providing the following guidelines:

1.  Stay active in your questions and provide feedback whenever possible. Likewise, when feedback has not been provided by the experts, commenting again makes them receive an email notification, and they may provide you with further information. Experts have no other method of searching for questions in which they have commented, except manually.

2.  Award points by hitting the Accept Comment As Answer button located above and to the left of that expert's comment.

3.  When grading, be sure to read:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/cmtyQuestAnswer.jsp#3
to ensure that you understand the grading system here at EE. If you grade less than an A, you must explain why.

4.  Questions that were not helpful to you should be PAQ'd (stored in the database for their valuable content?even if not valuable to you) or deleted. To PAQ or delete a question, you must first post your intent in that question to make the experts aware. Then, if no experts object after three full days, you can post a zero-point question at community support to request deletion or PAQ. Please include the link(s) to the question(s).
CS:  https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qList.jsp?ta=commspt
At that point, a moderator can refund your points and PAQ or delete the question for you. The delete button does not work.

5.  If you fail to respond to this cleanup request, I must report you to the Community Support Administrator for further action.

Our intent is to get the questions cleaned up, and not to embarrass or shame anyone. If you have any questions or need further assistance at all, feel free to ask me in this question or post a zero-point question at CS. We are very happy to help you in this task!


thanks!
