I should have also mentioned I'm using v6.2 of the Debugging Tools
installation.

Updating to the 6.3 beta tools did the trick and I now get prompted for
user/password when needed.

Hi DJ,
From your description, you would like to use MS public symbol server behind proxy. And now you are prompted for user/pwd.

I suggest you turning off the option SYMOPT_NO_PROMPTS (In KD and CDB, this option is on by default; in WinDbg, this option is off by default)
This symbol option suppresses authentication dialog boxes from the proxy server. This may result in SymSrv being unable to access a symbol store on the
internet.Once the debugger is running, it can be turned on or off by using .symopt+0x80000 or .symopt-0x80000, respectively, followed by the .reload
(Reload Module) command. It can also be turned on and off by using the !sym prompts off and !sym prompts extension commands, followed by the .reload
(Reload Module) command.
For details, see Firewalls and Proxy Servers in windbg document.

6.3 contains known fixes that allow symsrv work with more proxy servers than
before. I'm glad it worked out for you!
