authentication and java applet issues?

We're getting issues with uploading of images using the Java version of the tool. We're currently running an older version...not an option to upgrade right now either. We've recently changed authentication to the upload site using IIS authentication and turning off anonymous access on the server to the entire directory in which the uploader resides. When we try to upload photos now, we get a prompt that appears which is asking for domain, username, and password. Here's what we can see so far...but not sure what to do about it:

Any ideas what could be the problem?
