Also, especially if you are a developer, make sure that you are in fact connecting to the IIS server and not to the IIS Express that comes with Visual Studio. If you are debugging a project, it's just as easy if not easier sometimes to think you are connected to IIS when you in fact aren't.

Even if you've enabled Windows Authentication and disabled Anonymous Authentication on IIS, this won't make any difference to your Visual Studio simulation.
