Accessing Web Files that require authentication?

I am trying to access a. Excel document that is stored on a sharepoint site. The site requires login credentials (which I have), but when I enter the URL for the Excel document in QlikView I just get an HTTP 401 error and a message telling me that my browser is sending the wrong authentication header. Does anyone know how to access files that require some type of authentication?

Error message I receive when I try and access the file from the sharepoint site:

"You are not authorized to view this page You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied because your Web browser is sending a WWW-Authenticate header field that the Web server is not configured to accept. Please try the following: Contact the Web site administrator if you believe you should be able to view this directory or page. Click the Refresh button to try again with different credentials. HTTP Error 401.2 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to server configuration.Internet Information Services (IIS) Technical Information (for support personnel) Go to Microsoft Product Support Services and perform a title search for the words HTTP and 401. Open IIS Help, which is accessible in IIS Manager (inetmgr), and search for topics titled About Security, Authentication, and About Custom Error Messages. "

Thanks,
