I constantly have problems with my Sony Vaio S series laptop and our IronPort S160. I am trying to download a bluetooth driver from Intel's website. Many times when I try to download or go to places that I have access according to the IT Admins policies, I get a blocked page (and only on the laptop). I tried the same URL in IE9 and also Google Chrome and both result in the same output:
The website you are trying to access is blocked.

Base64Decode error '800a0001'
Bad Base64 string.
/ironport/blocked.asp, line 78
See above where it starts with Base64Decode error? That is where the Re-authenticate User link is supposed to be. We are supposed to be able to click a re-authenticate link and get a pop up where we can put our domain credentials in to attach our credentials to our current IP address.
So 2 questions here really...
1. Why doesn't the reauthenticate link always work? I would say it shows up 1% of the time (so very rarely... but I have seen it).
2. I'm logged into Windows 7, joined to our domain on a laptop and a desktop. Why does the laptop aways see me as DOMAIN\computername@windows but the Ironport see's my desktop as DOMAIN\username@windows?
Both PC's are running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, IE 9. The only difference is one is a Sony laptop with an Intel Adv-N 6230 wireless card and the Desktop is a custom built with an ASUS motherboard and Marvel GigE on board connection. Windows updates would be identical because our WSUS server approves our updates and we are configured via Group Policy to get those updates on a weekly basis.
