No. step 3 the client only send the message contains the host name and the NT domain name of the client. The client is not authenticated at this stage! It requires a further challenge response (step 4-5) before the client is authenticated. The nonce is used by the client to create the LanManager and NT responses. This requires a hashed password which is described in http://www.innovation.ch/java/ntlm.html. All this NTLM stuff is implemented by the jCIFS project. You will have to develop a similar implementation if you don't want to use jCIFS.

My guess is IE is still waiting for the NTLM handshake to complete and hence queuing your submit. -lp --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
