Following the instructions here:

I am trying to install the force.com ide for eclipse, however when I add the site

http://www.adnsandbox.com/tools/ide/install/

It gives me the error

Authentication failed for http://www.adnsandbox.com/tools/ide/install/

What is going on here and how do I fix it?

Hi,

I'm having an issues downloading the IDE for salesforce. I have tried both methods of retrieving the IDE (Standalone and plugin) and for each case the following occurs:

I click on the link of the specific installer that I would like to download, a form appears requesting a authentication, I insert my username (in the e-mail form) and password, but it seems unsuccessful, I keep receiving the authentication request over and over without any success.

I thought I would attempt the Eclipse plug-in method. So I installed eclipse and java etc. and selected Help / Install New Software, entered in all the fields, as described in the Quick Setup documentation, but then receive the message:

"Authentication failed for http://www.adnsandbox.com/tools/ide/install/."

It appears I'm being stung by authentication for both methods, has anyone else had this issue that may know of a workaround?

Thanks
