Can't authenticate using Proxy

I have having some trouble getting users of my domain to authenticate
through Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0. The website is on an Windows 2000 domain
controller (IIS5.0) and has basic authentication enabled on it so users
within the organisation don't have to provide their domain username and
password.

Users accessing externally through a routed/firewalled Internet connection
are prompted for their username and password which works fine.

However, when a user is accessing externally through MS Proxy they cannot
authenticate. They are repeatedly prompted for authentication three times
until they get an error page. The strange thing is that users who are
adminstrators can get without a problem even through the proxy.

I have tried giving the users logon locally rights but this still doesn't
help. Anyone have any ideas? I really don't want to give all the users
domain admins rights for obvious reasons.

Regards

Hmmm, Basic authentication prompts for a username and password. It's
Windows Integrated authentication that doesn't ...

Hmm, I wonder if I an using the correct authewntication. I will check. I
want authentication, but only for users that have not already logged onto
the domain, i.e. external users.

Thanks, I'll check.
