    If the new website works from internally and not externally, it probably is
    not an IIS issue.

    1. Make sure your website only has Anonymous access enabled. No other
    authentication enabled. Make sure this setting is inherited to all web
    pages in question (because you can customize authentication on a per page
    basis in IIS).
    2. Please provide the entry in the log file that corresponds to your failing
    anonymous request from external.

    If you can, install Network Monitor from the Windows Server 2003 CD (it is
    in Add/Remove Programs\Windows Components\Network Monitoring Tools) and use
    it to take a Network trace of the request that claims failure.

Hello,
I'm having an Anonymous access problem which is driving me round the bend !
Basically, I created a website a few years ago, stuck it on a Windows 2000
server and made it live on the internet. Everything was fine, and a month or
so back I upgraded the server to Windows 2003 standard, using the upgrade
option to upgrade the server. The website still works just fine.
Now, we've decided to create a new website from scratch. That's been done
and it works fine internally. I created a new virtual directory using the
exactly the same settings/login credentials as before, just pointed it to a
different directory. Externally, I get this error :
Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
I've no idea why! If I use Basic Authentication, I get a login box from
outside the network, and when I enter the same user name, domain and
password I was using for Anonymous Access, it works ! Naturally, I don't
want a user name and password to appear for random visitors to my website.
Just a bit more background:
- the webserver is a member of a domain
- the user name and password I'm using is on the same domain
- NTFS permissions are the same on the one that works and the one that
doesn't
- the old website still works just fine
I've done a fair bit of googling with no luck.
anyone any ideas ??
