User authenticaton for running a web service through browser

Dear all,

I have a strange behavior of the browser. I have followed the below steps before running the webservice on a browser.

1. Created a codeunit which I wanna use as a web service.
2. Assingned the codeunit and made it published in the Web Services form.
3. Changed the CustomSettings file by copying the server and data base names to exact ones.
4. Restarted the services Microsoft Dynamics Nav Server and Microsoft Dynamics Business web Services.

Now I try to use the follwoing address to check for web services:

http://xyzIPAddressxyz:7047/DynamicsNav/WS/Services
http://xyzIPAddressxyz:7047/DynamicsNav ... vicenameXX

Both the above addresses intiates with Windows Security for User Name, Password. And when I pass the exact windows credentials
1. The first address would show the active web services
2. The second address would show the WSDL file related to the codeunit.

My problem is:
1. The above works fine when I browse them in the windows system.
2. I am struck ](*,) since the windows security for user credentials does not pop up in the browsers that run on Mac systems. It just show the blank page where in I have no clue how to move further coz I wanna use the web service on the Mac System.

I would be grateful to all, if someone could suggest where I m doing wrong or am I missing any setup which is making web service not to get called on the Mac systems.

Awaiting on your earliest responses.

Thanks in advance.

    I'd recommend switching the NST to NTLM authentication and try the first.
