Webserver Login Screen Missing
Currently when I go to the webserver for my webcam (which has a built-in server) for the purpose of doing administration tasks IE8 immediately gives me an "unauthorized" page instead of the login screen (shown at right). It looks like Windows 7 or IE8 is automatically giving it the wrong login data, but I doubt that since if I ever did login, I'm sure it worked properly. There are many security settings on Windows 7 and also in IE8 (running on the Windows 7 client) that I would rather not just delete all form data without really understanding the problem. It still works properly when accessed from both Win98 and Vista machines. It even worked on one Windows 7 machine until it didn't and it when I tried it on another machine running a newer install of Windows 7 it never worked at all. (The older Win 7 install had a credential installed with what looked like a blank username, so I deleted it but it did not help. The newer install of Win 7 never had the credential, probably because I never tried to go to the admin page using that PC until recently.)
Other than this "login screen missing" problem all machines are otherwise working properly on my network for purposes of file and printer sharing.
