Mono, since pre-1.0, supports Basic, Digest and NTLM (but not Kerberos).

It cannot, like MS can do, process authentication without you providing
the password. It's possible that the password you supply (in your source
code) isn't the one being used.

When in doubt in web authentication use a network sniffer, like
ethereal, to look (it's even easier when SSL/TLS isn't involved) at the
working and failing. You'll probably see a clue to guide you.
