De facto URL on how to access remote files/resources from IIS:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/technologies/webapp/iis/remstorg.mspx
Out of the box, using anonymous and basic authentication just works with
minimal reconfiguration.
You need to clarify exactly WHAT identity is executing the ASP page.

Thanks for the reply. Although the application is ASP.NET, we are actually calling and accessing the remote file using a classic .asp page.
