Maybe your IUSR (Anonymous user) account's password is out of sync between
IIS and Windows. You can verify this if you turn-off integrated
Windows-auth (so it's just Anonymous) and see if you can still access it
with IE on the server itself. If you can't access it... then the IUSR
account is likely out-of-sync.

Hi all,
This will sound as a FAQ, but still I couldn't find a solution anywhere!
I've made a .Net web service. The debugger can run it perfectly. My own IE
can run it perfectly.
But:
-- With IE from a different computer I'm asked a password now. Not providing
a password results in a page with the exact text "Error: Access is Denied.";
and
-- With a Java applet (built in JBuilder) from my own computer the service
returns the same error text to the applet.
Help me please! What is going wrong?
Some small things (if you need to know more, please ask)
-- The "aspnet_wp account (<MACHINENAME>\ASPNET)" with Write permissions
added to security for the web service's folder;
-- A home-made default.html in the web service's folder is served to anyone
just fine, without passwords being asked;
-- The properties of the directory (in IIS) are set to Read and to Scripts
only (Execute perm.);
-- The properties of the "Anonymous access and authentication control" are
set to:
    - "Anonymous access" through IUSR_<MACHINENAME>
        with IIS controlling the password,
    - integrated Windows auth., and
    - NO basic auth.;
        and
-- As said: IE on the local machine works just fine, so the ASP.Net libs and
stuff for IIS seem to be set-up just fine.
Please, please, help! I'm about to cry over it! This shouldn't be so hard!
In Unix I'ld have set things to rwxrwxrwx and that's that; now I've lost two
days of development. And although I'm a student... I have deadlines too! :-S
Thanks in advance!
