Do you access webpages running on your IIS server? It sounds very strange
that the web pages works as expected when you turn off IIS, if the website
is hosted by this IIS server.

This is what i think is happening:
Your workstation have IIS installed. You visit an external website, which is
not hosted on your IIS server. When you do this, you are asked to logon.
When you turn off IIS, you are not asked to logon. Is this correct?

If this is correct, the only thing i can think of is that the website you
are visiting, has some references to localhost (which is obviously wrong).
When you access the website running IIS, you actually have something
answering on a request to localhost, and by some reason, you are asked to
logon because your account does not have access to something.
When you turn off IIS, nothing is answering on localhost, giving you a 404
error (which you do not see in this case), and you are not asked to logon,
because nothing is asking you to logon.

So, if this happens on only one website, the problems seems to be with that
website, and not your machine.
