Every now and again, after authentication, you get page can't be displayed? Is this right?

Need the IIS version and server OS. Any service packs? Is there one particular PC or group of PCs that get this error?

I know this sounds silly, but check and see if your servers nic is going bad. I had a very similar problem, with sometimes users couldn't authenticate. Kept getting worse till nobody could. Turned out the nic had been going bad. Stumbled acrossed it when someone authenticated while I was rebooting the server. (We have two DC's.) Good luck.

Could be the Nic, I guess. Maybe check to make sure it's set to full duplex.

Also sounds like it could be trying to pull the second page of the web page, the one that gives the error, from cache.

Try clearing the cache of the client's machine.

Just a hunch, but I think the client's trying to display an authenticated web page from it's temp folder.
