windows xp password, can't access site!

Today I tried to access www.xpbargains.com and was prompted for a password! I tried the site on my other machines (all going through the same router so they have the same IP address), and all the others work the same. For some reason, Windows XP has decided to password protect this site, so I can't access it anymore. When I try to go to xpbargains.com, I get a prompt that says "Connecting to xpbargains.com" then under that, it has "User Name: "<MY_MACHINE_NAME\Guest" (greyed out where I can't change it, then a password box. It almost looks like the kind of prompt you'd get when you try to access a password-protected network share.

I've tried p/w's and nothing works. I've tried enabling my guest acct, that doesn't work either. Nslookup on this machine shows the same ip address as the other machines which are working. I have no friggin' clue why this site is suddenly password protected. Also I checked the privacy options under IE, this site hasn't been added to any special restrictions or anything.

Anyone have an idea? I'm clueless, it's strange, I'm 95% sure it has to be something password-protecting it on my side (client side), especially since it works on other machines on my network.

Thanks,
Dustin
 
FYI, I have another acct under XP on this same machine. I just tried it from that other account and I get the same problem--wndows XP/IE are blocking the site. I've scanned for viruses too, no luck.

Thanks,
