I would check the version of Apache that is running on your ISP server. I also had problems with .htaccess when my ISP upgraded security patches on their Apache servers. I would check with your ISP as to how to set-up your .htaccess.
For example, these are the codes that work on Apache 1.3:
AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "My Admin Area"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>
The codes you have work on Apache 1.1 and 1.2.1.
