I recently upgraded a PC from Win ME to XP prof. on a SBS 4.5 server. Everything was going fine until the PC asked me to change my password. Since then I hae not been able to figure out how to get my computer to get on the internet and recieve e-mail using Outlook Express through the proxy server.
I am getting a different login screen now and I've tried to do a couple of things like reinstall the proxy client and even change the user name and computer to get a fresh start. My question is how to a get back to the old login screen (the one with the picture icon).
I created a Network user ID through XP. It lets me on the network but I cannot get on the internet or use e-mail. When I try internet explorer I am getting this message:
-2146893055 (0x80090301)
on the browser screen. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be helpful.

Are your passwords synchronised between your XP account and your SBS 4.5 account?

Has XP decided that you should be in its domain and not the SBS domain? (it's happened to me before)

Just incase the problem is on the XP side, I worked away with information from this link

http://www.sbs2000.info/windows_xp.htm

failing that try searching on google for xp sbs 4.5 authentication proxy. that might yeild some results.
