Sounds like a problem with your browser. Try Mozilla Firefox or Opera.

What browser? Try a different one, and/or upgrade your existing one...

Amazing how many people seem to think Usenet is a mystery venue where after a few vague clues they can sit back and enjoy watching experts try to puzzle out the facts and then the solution. Guess it beats network TV. ;)

Thanks for reminding me, John, his headers say he's using Google, and:

/* X-HTTP-UserAgent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MMozilla/4.0SIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; Roadrunner; Crazy Browser 1.0.5; .NET CLR

Wonder what that "Crazy Browser" plugin is all about, maybe it's breaking something. It claims it's not spyware, but any browser that falls over after entering a password would lead me to guess that there's some hijacking going on.

Not sure I can parse the rest of that browser string, anyone else?

It does it in my crazy browser and my firefox and IE browser Thanks all for the info

Hmm, then it sounds like some kind of malware. Anything that happens right after a username/password window is probably trying (and failing for some reason) to steal the password and send it back to the malware author.

What virus and malware scanner(s) are you using?

Or the scanner could be infected, too.

The OP should run a Knoppix or Ubunto live-CD to do the configuration.
