IIS 6 Not Authorized solutions not helping me solve problem

I have checked the file permissions by going to Windows Explorer, and for the
default site (C:\Inetpub\wwwroot), I verified that I have an Everyone account
and an Internet Guest Account (machinename/IUSR_machinename) both with Read &
Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read checked. In IIS Manager for the
default web site I have Enable Anonymous Access checked and nothing else
checked on the page, yet when I go to http://localhost, I get a pop-up asking
me for a userid and password. If I supply either the IUSR id and password,
or the administrative id and password, after three tries I get the You are
not authorized to view this page and a 401.1. I have reset the anonymous
password to be sure I am using the one I expect.

Here are the contents of the log after I attempt to get to the localhost
from a remote computer (by using the ip address):

Any further ideas?
