I tried the set-up as you described, but I still have no access to the "localhost" on my computer where I had set up WinXP home to operate ASP files locally for web page development. I wanted to have Opera 9.23 access the "localhost" so I can view and test new local ASP web pages in the Opera Browser.

No matter how I try to set the variables in the "server.cfg" file, Opera will not access the localhost (http://localhost/). It continues to ask for user authentication, and with or without a password it does not work.

Just to ensure I covered the bases, as I know it, I shut down my Comodo firewall and the problem persists.

What suggestions do you have to get Opera to work with localhost?

My computer is on a LAN which is connected to internet through a proxy server (WebMarshal).
With IE7, Firefox and Avant it is just enough to configure the HTTP Proxy as WebMarshal and Port as 8080.
Doing the same on Opera brings up the login dialog for the proxy server (WebMarshal), which I have no access to (obviously!)
Any help?
Thanks in advance

Another interesting thing is happening!
Only Google and related sites are opening in Opera without any proxy configuration for WebMarshal.

hello,

most likely you have to reconfigure your server.cfg (in %Program_files%\ntlmaps\server.cfg)

in my one I must have changed following entries:

PARENT_PROXY:
#just remove the your_proxy_whatever text
NT_DOMAIN:writeYourDomainNameHere
USER:YourUserLikeTamil
PASSWORD:YouKnowYourPassw

#this is the magic here i guess
LM_PART:1
NT_PART:1
NTLM_FLAGS: 07820000
NTLM_TO_BASIC:1


#so that's it, have fun!


by the way, the missing NTLM auth in Opera was the biggest REASON why i changed to Mozilla.

but now i'm back :)

Bye
Tamas
