Here are the steps (Windows Server 2008, R2, IIS 7.5)

  • create new virtual folder under default web site
  • create new application in that virtual folder
  • add helloworld.htm page to that application

  • access helloworld.htm with no issues using fully qualified name http://server_name/virtual_folder/application/helloworld.htm

  • for the application, change Security->Authentication to require Windows Authentication and not allow anonymous authentication

  • in order to access same page you need to use ip_address instead of server_name.

Please help!

Thanks PV

Had the same issue, changing the ApplicationPool identity to NetworkService solved it.

Sounds like this could be a dns problem, can you try and create a host entry (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and put the mapping there FQDN -> IP

See if that works.
