Apache Authentication not NCSA compatiable?

[Richard Freilich <rf...@vertex.tor.hookup.net>]

Recently one of our Webmasters has been attempting to do authentication by
IP adddress.  Using the NCSA tutorials as a guideline, he correctly set up
the .htaccess file.  When going to the page from a site not authorized,
the correct "Authentication Failed" page comes up.  When attempting to get
the page from a valid site, the user is prompted for a username and
password.  A copy of the .htaccess file appears below. 

AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName EnterPassword
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from .hq.hookup.net
</Limit>

Does Apache have a different implementation method, or might this be a
bug?  Any suggestions would be appreciated...
