In the "Proxy server" section, verify that the 'Use a proxy server' check box is UNCHECKED
NOTE: It is best to uncheck the options when not using the proxy service. If left checked the browser will ask for your authentication every time the browser is used.
Exit Internet Explorer and restart it for the changes to take effect.
When you reopen your browser, a dialog box will come up asking for your login and password. Use your email login and password. This will happen every time you open the browser, regardless of whether you are accessing anexternal database or not.
