NetworkCredentials not working

I am trying to access a page using a WebRequest.

I know it needs the proper credentials so I set it up as follows:
string cszServerName = Page.Request.ServerVariables.Get("SERVER_NAME");
Uri baseUri = new Uri("http://"+cszServerName);
Uri myUri = new Uri(baseUri, filepath,false);
WebRequest objRequest = WebRequest.Create(myUri);

string cszUserName =
clsCookieLib.GetTripleDESEncryptedCookieValue("UserName");
string cszPassword =
clsCookieLib.GetTripleDESEncryptedCookieValue("Password");
NetworkCredential credentials = new NetworkCredential(cszUserName,
cszPassword, "axia");
objRequest.Credentials = credentials;
WebResponse objResponse = objRequest.GetResponse(); <----- 401 error is
produced on this line!!!

However, I still get a 401 Unauthorized access error on this line
WebResponse objResponse = objRequest.GetResponse();
I know that my credentials are correct because I typed them in the dialog
box that comes up when you try to access the page through Internet Explorer
and everything came up fine.

Anyone know what I am doing wrong or if this is a huge bug in .NET?

Thanks,
Greg

What kind of server and authentication scheme are you using ?

Are you sure that "clsCookie.GetTripleDESEncodedCookieValue(...)" is
returning the correct username & password ?
