i'm not sure but sps  is only under windows 2000, and windows 2000 use
kerberos authentification, maybe your pocket pc don't know about this
authentification...

If that's the cause then you could set it up to use 'basic
authentication'
or if you'd rather you could use 'basic authentication with ssl'

The only way I could get my boss's pocket PC to work was to click on
basic
authentication. Haven't tried it with ssl yet. However, be aware the
browser on those are very limiting, and they don't understand what
iframes
are, so any customization the browser will most likely not be able to
see.

Haven't tried with 'ssl' either but appreciate the info.

I thought that if you used Basic Authentication with an SPS site  it did
not
work correctly. At a bare minimum, you would lose your user roles
correct?

I believe that you should still have full use of the SPS with Basic
Auth. It is when you allow anonymous users into the site  that you lose
functionality.

Ok, now I am following everyone. Basic vs. Anonymous but the problem with
Basic Authentication is that unless you use SSL your username  and password
are sent in clear text.
