My suspicion is that the username/password for the anonymous user account is
out of sync with the local machine's account. You want to synchronize it to
make anonymous work again.

Check the web server log file (%systemroot%\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC#\*.log)
for your requests -- if they are failing with 401 1 <win32 error code> then
this is probably the problem.

See this URL for other reasons for anonymous not working.

I am out of options on trying to get this to work. I have a site that sits
on our development box in a vlan. No matter what I do I can't access the
site as an anonymous user - it just prompts me with a challenge response. If
I cancel and try to access the site, my menu control does not render
properly. I'm using the IE web controls for that. My current set up is
Windows 2003 running and asp.net app in IIS. I am impersonating the ASPNET
account with a custom account that I have set up according to documentation
in patterns and practices. In IIS Manager I have set the Identity in
DefaultAppPool to this custom account and in the directory security of the
web site I have checked the Allow Anonymous and left the IUSR account as the
user id. I can see in the task manager that the worker process is running
under my custom account. My web.config file contains the statement:
     <authorization>
      <allow users="*" />
    </authorization>
So, what else can I check or do to get this to work? I've thought about
running aspnet_regiis to reset everything in hopes of starting over, but I'm
not sure if that will work. There is also a new version of aspnet_regiis in
the 2.0 framework that accepts a switch "-ga" that assigns the proper
permissions to a passed account. It works nicely on ASP.NET 2.0 apps - not
sure if I can use that on a 1.1 version of the framework.
Thanks for ANY help!!!!
