>>>What do you mean be 'virtual server' ?
>>>IAC, if this is IIS, it sounds as if anonymous access is not allowed for the page. If you *do* want to allow anonymous access you must either configure for same using IIS manager or specifically allow it in web.config (see configuration/location element for details)

>>I think (but I will double check) that anonymouse access is enabled. The strange thing (to me) was that I could run a simple .html page in my app without any problem. But when I tried to browse a "hello world" .aspx I was getting this "access denied." So I suppose somewhere (and this is what I am trying to find out) in the Server 2008 IIS there has to be a setting to allow .aspx page to be loaded. Or my appl. I will keep looking. Thank you.

Yes (I have access to the IIS manager).
This is Server 2008 and when I go to IIS and Help -> About. The version is 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
