    punsez138451d/L3NOCALM is not a host name. The authentication was working in the previous post. 
    http://punsez138451d/L3NOCALM/default.aspx'

    [download]
    is short for 
    http://punsez138451d:80/L3NOCALM/default.aspx'

    [download]
    where
    • "http" is the scheme.
    • "punsez138451d" is the host name.
    • "80" is the host port.
    • "/default.aspx" is the path.

    The credentials are for the entire host, specified using it's name and it's port.

      Hello Cardinal, When i use "punsez138451d:80" in the credential section i am getting 500 Internal Server Error.

      Please advice

        We've been here before...

        That means the authentication worked and that your .aspx script didn't. Check your server's access log to confirm the server sent the 500 — LWP uses creates 500 responses for errors such as timeouts — and check your server's error log to find out what the actual error is.

        We can't help you debug your .aspx script since you haven't told us anything about it. It's likely out of the realm of this site anyway.
