I've run into this situation more times that I can count: I set up a new web server and no matter what I do, I cannot log into websites on the server that require authentication while I am browsing to them from the console. I used to pull my hair out over this problem until I discovered the problem is in the Windows Local Security Authority (LSA) and it can be easily remedied.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
in the registry editor.Several years later someone wrote the following KB article that includes this fix with a description of the problem, as well as an alternate workaround:
