Hi, I have a portion of my website that uses windows authentication. I am able to access that site through my computer. But when I remote into the server and try to access the website, I am unable to.

The error is a HTTP error 401.1 - Unauthorized.
Module: WindowsAuthenticationModule
Notification: AuthenticateRequest
Handler: StaticFile
Error Code 0xc000006d
Logon Method: Not yet determined
Logon User: Not yet determined

Any tips are appreciated! Thank you!

Here is the procedure to resolve the error:-

Go to start=>run
type "inetmgr" in the box (without quotes)
Go to default websites
right click your virtual directory
Click on properties
Go to directory security
Click on edit button and check the anonymous access checkbox,
uncheck the integrated windows authentication checkbox..


done

Virtual Directory? The portion of the website is just in a folder (regular directory). When I right click that folder, I don't see the "Properties" option, just edit permissions (and other things). So I chose that but then I don't see "Directory Security."

Can you be a little more specific as to where I go? I have IIS 7.

Still don't see it. I'm using Windows 2008 server and IIS 7. Click on "default sites" inside IIS? On the left I see a "Sites" directory and then it lists all of my websites.
