I have been experiencing a sporadic HTTP 401 Permission
Denied messages using web services.

I'm protecting web services using windows authentication
and setting the role in the web.config file for the
service.

IIS is configured (on Windows 2000 Server) to disallow
Anonymous users and only allow Windows Integrated
authentication and basic authentication. And the web
service is protected by the builtin\Adminstrators role (in
web.config file).

I've also tried using a non-adminstrator role to protect
this service with no improvement.

Most of the time access works but occasionally I will get
the 401 error.

Could this be a client connection limit issue?
