Yep, the pages are all in the same directory. I even moved the style sheet 
that said pages are linked to into that directory, so there's nothing being 
called from outside the protected area.

Ahha! Your question about whether the boxes say the same thing is my clue 
(still don't know what my answer is...haha).  The first one is for 
www.domain.com, and the second one is for domain.com. Other than that, they 
are exact, though the second prompt comes up with the username already 
filled in, just asking for a password.

Very interesting.
