In addition to what everyone else has said, make sure the IUSR account has
NTFS permissions to your content (assuming you want to allow anonymous
access).

I read the article and it says that IE will first try Anonymous, then
integrated authentication.

I turned on some object auditing and when I look at the security log, it
shows a success for the IUSR_<machine> account, but immediately following
that it shows that it attempted to use my domain to authenticate.

Could the IUSR_<machine> account have been hosed somehow that causes it to
fail the anonymous login? The site is set to allow anonymous access, but
it the checkbox for Integrated Windows authentication is set as well.

Can the IUSR_<machine> account somehow be 'reset'??

Hi,

Sounds like you do not have Anonymous Access enabled. You can enable it in
IIS Manager, right click the website name, and click Properties.
Then go to the "Directory Security" tab
Click on the Edit button in "Authentication and access control"
Enable Anonymous Access

Sounds like permissions, look at this article it should help you set the
correct permissions for anonymous.
