Non Domain computers get three requests for authentication

I have a couple non-domain computers that login using domain user accounts
and access sharepoint services websites. The users are complaining that
when they attempt to open documents they get three seperate requests for
username, password and domain.

After entering their credentials three times identically they are allowed to
continue.

Users are Windows 2000 and Office 2003.

Any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix this would be appreciated.

Frederick,

Try having a user add the site to their Trusted Sites list (in Internet
Options) and selecting "remember my password".

Daniel's solution is included in the item III.25.2 in the WSS FAQ (see my
sig for the address)

It's not always necessary to add to Trusted Sites though - sometimes
Intranet will be enough. It just depends on how these two zones are set up.

(I bash them into Trusted like Daniel - but people have warned about this in
the past here)

Item III.87 is another item in the FAQ that offers solutions to the same
kind of thing but in this case where the users are finally rejected (which
isn't your set-up).

Good point Mike!

Be careful with your IE security or you'll end up with a stack of spyware
virii.
