Outlook/IE challenge me in XP over VPN, but not W2KPro

This one is really eating at me and the network guys at my office are
scratching their heads as well. Here's the scenario (and sorry about the
huge crosspost, but this is really bugging me)

On my XP Pro box:
Cisco VPN Client / OutlookXP / IE6
When I log in using the Cisco VPN client, I am able to map drives, use
Terminal Services to attach to servers, but whenever I use Outlook/IE to
access corporate Intranet I get challenged again and again for my
username/password until I lock myself out. I've tried all manner of
resolutions including deleting and recreating my Outlook profile, making
sure my AD account password never expires and futzing around with IE
settings. No joy. Somewhere an invalid password is cached, I suspect.

On my W2KPro laptop:
Same VPN client. Outlook2000 / IE5.5
No problems whatsoever when I log in with VPN client. Never challenged by IE
or Outlook. Can map drives like a champ. Zero issues.

This is a constant source of frustration and I think it is IE related more
than anything else.

Any clues out there? Besides telling me to just use my laptop, wiseguys :)

Did you configure IE6 to not automatically send your current logon
credentials for the internet/intranet/trusted/restricted sites zones? (Might
also consider disabling the Integrated Windows Authen. setting. It is under
the advanced tab in ie.)

Only other issue I can think of that exists in Windows XP Pro but no Windows
2000 is there is an option called "Use simple file sharing" in the Windows
Explorer options. When this option is on, it will always send a null/guest
session request rather than the user supplied credentials.
