    This explains why you can get "access denied" when anonymous access is
    enabled:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/david.wang/archive/2005/05/27/Access_Denied_to_Administrators_or_Anonymous_User.aspx

    This explains some reasons why anonymous access is not working:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/david.wang/archive/2005/07/14/HOWTO_Diagnose_IIS_401_Access_Denied.aspx

    Right now, it sounds like you have somehow configured the IIS anonymous user
    account to be an invalid username/password, so IIS fails to logon using that
    identity and anonymous authentication fails with access denied.

    The solution is to sync up that anonymous user credential in IIS with
    reality. How you do this is completely up to you -- you choose the anonymous
    user credential and then make sure it has file system ACL for access --
    reasoning is all described by the above blog entries

    >From explorer, you can select and right click Properties on the selected
    files/folders to view/edit/change its NTFS ACLs.

    Yes it is a member server now and I see local users through the computer
    management interface.
    This is going to sound like a really dumb question but here it goes...
    Where do I find the NTFS config screen you mentioned? If I search in the
    help that was loaded onto the server I get 0 responses for "NTFS
    configuration". Under the local user I can't see a way to grant IUSR_
    access. Is it under Local Security settings?
    Thanks for the help.
