>>>I have followed the process. Now I get a login screen when I try to access any page. Entering my credentials does not allow me to access the site.

>>I took a look at that page and I'm not sure that's really what you want to be doing. Essentially you've forced anyone that is hitting your website to log in first, then IIS will use their security credentials when accessing anything.

>>I'd suggest setting things back to use the IUSR/IWAM/ASPNET accounts. You can either give permission to the IIS account (if you're running under Windows Server 2003, you would need to give the Network Service account access to the network share). Or, you can change IIS to use an account besides Network Service when running which already has permission to the network share. Go into IIS, open Web Sites, right-click on the website and select Properties. Click on the Directory Security tab, then click on Edit. Make sure the "Enable anonymous access" is selected, then enter the user name and password of the account you want IIS to run under.

Try using UNC mapping instead of the mapped network drive letter, eg. \\MyServer\MyShare.
