Windows 8 RP keeps poping up network authentication message


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I am currently facing a problem with Windows 8 RP. Once in a while, this message keeps popping up:

I tried putting in many things, but nothing seem to work. I tried closing/canceling it, but it just pops back up in a few minutes. Help please? :(

It wants you to authenticate to something. It is your job to work backwards and figure out to where... From that screenshot it could be literally anything; a mapped network drive, a website, a service, anything.

Yup, and that's the problem. I wish I could tell what the heck it is, but nothing even tells me :|

well take a look at your connections

netstat -an

show you where its trying to connect that could be causing the auth request. And an -b and or -o if you need to know what process and or pid that is making the connection.

Or just sniff your traffic and you will see the attempted access, and then the request for auth.

You're not going to figure it out by just looking at the auth request ;)

Are you connected to a Domain ?

If not, try this

That doesn't make any sense... you can't change that setting unless he is connected to a domain, so if he isn't he'll already be on a workgroup.

If he is on a domain, it's probably for a reason....

True, was just brainstorming in-case something had been set by mistake
