--------------------------------------------------

PROBLEM:

2 web sites hosted on a Windows 2000 machine. The default website has an
ASPX
WebForms page that calls into an ASMX Web Service. The second website is
mapped to a port other than 80. The webforms page executes without a
problem
if the call to the web services is commented out. The Web Service executes
without a problem if we browse to the ASMX file directly. When the Web
Service IIS application has anonymous access disabled then the following
error
is reported back to the WebForms page that tries to access it?

The request failed with HTTP status 401: Access Denied.

RESOLUTION:
