Check that your custom Anonymous username/password stored in the metabase
matches that in your local SAM. If not, synchronize them

Also, give the actual LOG entries on the web server for those requests (I
need to know what type of 401 was returned) as well as ACLs on the file
resource being accessed.

[Actually, it was the Update of about 2/08... the one I just installed
(2/15) did not fix problem.]
Web Server 2003 had been running fine for several months - several simple
public web sites. Anonymous connections allowed.
Not on a Domain or Active Directory; installation was as  default
alternative "Workgroup".No DHCP. Static IP. Solo server connectiing to
Internet thru Sonicwall
firewall. I've been using this hardware/network config for several years.
I have disabled a number of unused services such as DHCP.
Point is had been working for months, until patch installed...
and I had not touched the computer for weeks prior to problem.
Event logs [Server & IIS] show nothing unusual, but I could easily miss
something.
Now throws up NT "Enter Network Password" to all visitors to my web sites;
then, of course, "You are not authorized to view this page".
[HTM pages by the way, ASP/ASPX not a factor].
I run  Anonymous under a custom account, not IUSER_MachineName.
Switching back to standard  IUSER_MachineName made NO difference.
