Basic authenitication multiple requests

| For one site I use only basic authentication (no NDS/eDirectory/LDAP)
But my users are being asked to authenticate TWICE, even if the pages they
want to access are in the same domain (in the subfolder of the main folder
on which the authentication is asked for) Any ideas where to look? Doesn't
seem to be browser-dependentIf the user starts at the top & goes all the way
down it is OK, but jumping toie

Seb
Config looks like that: (note that same site is accessible from LAN (no
authentication) and from Internet (via authentication)
<Directory "INTRANET:/extranet">
Options Indexes
#Allow internal addresses when accessing from LAN
Allow from 10.0.0.4
Allow from 10.0.3
Allow from 10.0.4
Allow from 10.0.5
Deny from all
#Deny Bordermanager reverse proxy when accessing from Internet
Deny from 10.0.0.20
order deny,allow
#Ask for authentication if accessing the page from Internet
AuthName "SPGS Students Only"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "SYS:/APACHE2/Staff/.htpasswd"
Require valid-user
Satisfy Any
</Directory>
That works OK is accessing in this order:
http://servername/page.htm then http://website/folder/page.htm then
http://servername/folder/folder/page.htm
But will ask multiple times to authenticate if accessing straight away:
http://servername/folder/folder/folder/page.htm
