403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
#1 - 2008 R2 Server - IIS 7.5 ( not a domain controller )
#2 - DC is server 2003
Accessing a simple hmtl file locally on the 2008 server is OK - page renders
Accessing the same file elsewhere in the lan/domain results in the error...

You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
IIS_IUSRS ( 2008server\iis_iusrs ) have full perms to the directory where this html file is located.
This appears to be a network permission issue, but I can't seem to find the right combo in IIS / directory permissions.

Ah, sorry, should have provided more details...
Windows firewall is off.
In IIS --> website #1 points to c:\inetpub\wwwroot
In IIS --> website #2 points to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\realcod
Any file I attempt to open via website #1 generates the 403 error. So for the same file...
website#1\realcode\hello.h
website#2\hello.html renders OK
The IIS permissions appear to be the same for both sites.

A solution...
windows\system32\inetsrv\c

<security>
<ipSecurity allowUnlisted="false">

This solution might have worked - but found the config file issue.
Without adding the app pool user ( changing only the the config file ) - domain users have access to the site's pages/content.

To fix this: goto control panel, Windows firewall
goto the Exceptions tab and Scroll down to World Wide Web Services (HTTP).
