Permission is a big issue. The code runs in the context of the user
account accessing it. In the case of anonymous access, it's the
anonymous user account. But if you use Windows authentication, IE
will pass the Windows user credentials to IIS where the others will
not. That means it could be running as the anonymous user under one
browser and an authenticated, and different, user under another.

Filemon from systernals.com would help track that one though.
Otherwise, you start debugging and see what differences you're getting
from the browsers.
