Look at your web.config. If none of your pages require authentication, set
your web.config <authentication mode="None">.

Also, make sure windows integrated authentication is not selected/ticked in
the IIS directory security MMC for that site. Again, if no auth is required,
make sure only Anonymous authentication is checked.
