login errors editing remote pages

Hi
I'm trying to edit pages from inside Visual Studio 2002 on a remote server
Windows 2000 using FrontPage extensions. Its been working fine for quite a
few weeks but since a problem with the power supplier to the machine which
caused it crash I've been getting a strange problem.

I can be editing pages and saving them back to the server without a problem
when for no apparent reason I get the following login prompt:
"This operation requires author permission for <servername>:80"

I enter the correct username and password and I get the following error
message:
"The user name or password is incorrect, or you do not have authorization to
perform this operation"

I'm in the correct group to edit the files and the ACL on the file says I
have permission to read and write to he file.

In the security event log I find the following entry which corresponds to me
saving the file:

Event Type: Failure Audit
Event Source: Security
Event Category: Logon/Logoff
Event ID: 537
Date: 04/08/2004
Time: 14:20:00
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: <SERVER>
Description:
Logon Failure:
Reason: An unexpected error occurred during logon
User Name:
Domain:
Logon Type: 3
Logon Process:
Authentication Package: NTLM
Workstation Name:


Does anyone have any ideas what is happening? I've tried re-installing the
FrontPage extensions, deleting and re-adding the webserver, nothing seems to
work.

If it matters I go through a proxy server at our ISP that I can't bypass, to
rule the proxy out I'm going to try getting a site set up on another port
that isn't proxied. But as I said earlier it had been working for a while
with this proxy server.

Any help would be appreciated.

Karl.
