Accessing Files From a Virtual Directory In IIS 7.5

[vr3...@gmail.com]

I have web site running inside IIS 7.5. Below the web site, there is a virtual directory that is pointing to a network share location. There are bunch of image files. When I try to browse those files, I am getting following error inside the browser:

"401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.

You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied."

Anonymous Authentication is enabled and all other authentication is disabled.

If click on Basic Settings, Edit Virtual Directory and select Test Settings, both the test passes without any issue (Authentication and Authorization).

Currently, Connect As is set to Application user (pass-through authentication).

The windows share is accessible. No issues with this.

Application Pool settings look OK. Set to Integrated. .Net Framework v4.0.30319.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
