noll3095 Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 I am currently working in a team on a website remotely. We have set up a development site to use for testing perposes. The problem is that I cannot access the site from Windows XP. I have been able to setup Win2000 using VirtualPC in my XP machine and have no trouble accessing it from there. In 2000 when accessing the site, it gives a dialog box asking for user name, password, and domain. The domain option is not present when I try in XP. Both have IE6, it's just a major pain to startup VirtualPC and Win2000 just to check the progress. Is there anyway to enable the option or manually force IE to send the domain name in XP? noll3095 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but, it's XP Pro and it's not on a network (well home peer-to-peer). It's to access a website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Been having a bit of a think, and cant really come up with anything solid, but one with worth considering would be a proxy server, if you're accessing the site via it, just confirm both the 2k and xp installations are setup for the proxy server correctly if needed. I'll hastle some fellow members of our xp development/deployment team later. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noll3095 Posted April 10, 2002 Author Share Posted April 10, 2002 No there is no proxy server. The main machine is Win XP Pro on a cable modem. The VirtualPC is an emulator on top of XP running 2000 so the connection is basically the same. I have no idea why it would be in one and not the other. Whan I get home tonight, I'll post screenshots of the two dialog boxes. Thanks for you help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noll3095 Posted April 11, 2002 Author Share Posted April 11, 2002 Here are the screenshots of the two dialog boxes: For WinXP For Win2000 Notice that 2000 has a box for a domain where XP leaves it out. Any help is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 You should be able to do domainusername , or select it from the '...' box (I doubt the latter would show anything though). Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
