This should work fine. Have you tried enabling auditing on both machines to
see what account is being denied access to where?

You didn't specify that you had already tried the items below, so I'm going
to be cautious and assume maybe you haven't.

You do need to have an identical IWAM or IUSR account set up on the remote
machine, and it needs to have the exact same password as well. This means
you need to change the IIS MMC so that it does not manage the IUSR password,
and you can change or find out what the IUSR and IWAM passwords are set to
in the metabase using the ADSUTIL.VBS command. This command is documented
at www.microsoft.com/support, search for ADSUTIL. The password for that
account must be set to the same thing within Windows on both machines and
also in the IIS Metabase.
