I think your problem is in your WMS config in MapGuide Admin. Go into
those settings and then under General Properties, change the Server name from
the above listed one to mgos.innomap.com. Google Earth is using these
parameters when it assembles the WMS request URL.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

it is issuing a password challenge/response unrelated to MapGuide. But,
this is working: <A

is pretty much what Google creates after you select the layer. Only GE
seems to change the mgos.innomap.com to innomap, maybe a variable of
sorts?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>Ok I've gotten that far. For some reason or another,
after I select the layer I want, hit ok. It trys said selected

<P><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT size=2>The .fcgi URL is the WMS Server URL<SPAN

You add that as a new WMS Server in the "Web Mapping Service Parameters" Google
Earth dialog box<SPAN class=233191315-15092006>. Once you do that, it will
show you the layers that are on that WMS Server (MGOS) that are exposed via
WMS.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></P></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>For those of you who follow Google Earth happenings,
the latest release of beta 4 supports WMS as image overlay sources. It's
very cool, pretty easy to use and even includes a number of pre-reloaded WMS
URL's. Our own DM Solutions server is even listed (it's the last one in
the list - easy to find). If you have a previous version of GE, you have
to uninstall it prior to installing this version. This blog entry has some
details on how to use this feature: </FONT><A

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tried it with some WMS layers from MapGuide Open
Source and Enterprise and it worked reasonably well. You may have to
manually tweak the WMS request parameters manually. For instance, change
FORMAT=image/gif to FORMAT=image/png or transparency doesn't seem to work.
One thing to watch out for, MapGuide only supports single layer WMS requests so
do not try to add more than one layer to the single overlay definition or it
will fail.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Attached is a KMZ placemark of the Sheboygan
hydrography layer from Autodesk's demo server. If you want to work with
the other layers there just add a new WMS Server in the GE dialog using
