So on one of my work computers I occasionally get a pop-up log in box when trying to access SFN, so far I have avoided it as it looks kinda suspicious. It's quite annoying as I can't seem to get around it, the next day it will be gone...any idears?

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini

We know that happened today. You mean it has happened to you before today? And if so, how often?

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

It's happened to me before, Kil. At home at ca. 6 am this morning I tried a few times with the pop-up log-in request. It happened a few times and I gave up. Now I'm at school and had no problems.

But this isn't the first time. I can't recall specifics but at least once in the last 2 months I've had this happen.

Same here I have one laptop where I consistently see the logon.
