Getting a 404/401 on a long running report

Greetings.
I have a report that I am running through ASP.Net with the rs.render method.
When I have a longer date range, the execution time of the query gets longer
and I start to get funky errors. Namely, at around 3 minutes, I get
prompted for network credentials by the standard IE prompt. It doesn't
accept what they are, and after a few times, it takes me to a 404 saying that
the page can't be found. If I try to cancel the prompt, I get a 401 that I
don't have access. I'm not sure what else to look at here. This report has
worked fine in the past, and there are no problems if I just scale back the
date range.
I have the render make a pdf file in a virtual directory on my web server
and then my postback page has a client script inserted to open a window
showing that pdf file.
Anyone have any ideas?
Dale.I fixed it.
It turns out that the HTTP connection timeout settings needed to be
increased a little bit to allow the report to complete. The default of 120
seconds had worked fine in IIS 5 on Windows 2000 Server, but the same value
in IIS 6 on Windows 2003 Server didn't fare too well.
Also, I wound up re-writing the stored proc for the report. The original
author of it had cursors and correlated subqueries doing things they were
never intended to do. Execution time is now 33s instead of 10m15s.
