Virtual Directory / Enter Network Password

I created a virtual directory call 'testlistbills' the path is:
\\nwasql1\nwadisk3\testnightbatch. The directory exists on a NT4 domain
controller. The web server is Windows 2000 / IIS 5. The 'connect as' is a
valid domain user and password.
When I try to access a document (i.e.
https://../TestListBills/2004/0423/REPORTS/ListBill-Client%2300002874-BDD20040507.RTF)
the system prompts me to enter the 'Network Password'. I developed and
tested this app on my local PC with no problem. When I view the virtual
directory through 'Computer Management' I can expand the 'TestListbills'
tree and see the files.

Did I miss something here? I setup virtual directory on the web server the
same way I set it up my pc. Thanks for any help.

If you turn off windows authentication for that virtual directory does it
then work?

Thanks. That didn't work but it pointed me in the right direction. I was
able to fix the problem by setting up anonymous access. I would have thought
that the 'Connect as' would have been sufficient.
