On alot of websites I see they use a Input box that appears that you enter a username and password. The title of this input box is "Enter Your Network Password".
Is this a API, How can I use this and what are its limitations?

As far as I know, the login window that appears is a result of having NT Challenge/Response or Basic Authentication enabled on the web server. The user would need to use a login that is specified on the server itself.
If anyone has another take on that, post it up because I'm not an expert on this.
You can always run your authentication with a DB. This is probably easier than the former as you wouldnt have to sit & create users on the server.

The pop up asking for the name is a JavaScript... I will search it out for you..... It will ask the user for a name then add a part of the code to your main page (ASP or otherwise) and it will happily say "hello {username}".... watch this space! :)
