Depending on your network security model you may need to create new shares
specific to your application which do not assume administrator rights as do the
default shares in the NTFS environment.  If you have existing NT/Win2000 groups
that include your membership those could need explicit rights to the physical
and/or virtual directories.

You may also want to determine whether your application needs Frontpage
Extensions and insure that they are loaded if needed.

Thanks for your feedback.  After careful checking, I do have the Web Sharing
tabs appropriately set.  Does the folder permissions have to include
"Everyone" and allow full control?

The thing to remember is that anonymous can be revoked at any level within
IIS.
There is a global permission set at the server level but it can also be
turned
on or off at the site or virtual directory level as well.

Where I believe that you are being stopped, however, is within the file
structure of Active Directory or NTFS (without Active Directory). If Web
Sharing
is explicitly disallowed on the path where your web site exists, access will
be
bound to NT Authentication. In other words, domain restrictions (or forest
restrictions with Active Directory) will over-ride your ability to share the
web
files.  Your users will get the Userid/Password challenge box attempting to
access your site.

If you have administrative rights to the file system, try right-clicking the
directory where your site exists, select "Properties" and then look at the
"Web
Sharing" tab. If it is not shared, create a share with "Read" Access
Permission's and "Scripts" Application Permissions. Remember that the
operating
system "owns" all of the files written to disk and if that interface is not
properly shared, NT security takes over.

Hope this helps.
