I'm experiencing a very strange problem which I believe is assocaited w/
Frontpage Server Extensions.

Some users of our internal intranet site, get windows user and password
prompts when they try to access office files. If the user clicks cancel, the
office file loads. If the user types in network id and password, it is not
accepted, however the document will still load after three attempts.

I have checked the iis log and those users who have this problem show up in
the log as trying to access author and shtml.dll files. They are getting a
302 error which I assume is assocaited w/ this problem.

Do you think reinstalling server extensions will correct this issue?

Any input is greatly appreciated

Yeah it looks like IIS is trying to grant them authoring permissions. You
could try reinstalling server extensions.

Or you could try turning off windows authentication & only allowing
anonymous access, if that's ok.

Or grant them access (maybe just read access) in frontpage explorer.

Some versions of office will cause this, until the user updates the
software. Such as office 2000 requires at least SR-1 be installed to
eliminate the problem.

It's possibly an IIS issue if you're using Basic Authentication. IE
won't pass credentials except in Windows Authentication. Also, if
this is Office 2000, installing SP1 cures an issue with Office
documents asking for a login/password.
