iis security : Anonymous user Authentication and DNS error

I have the following configuration :
windows 2k with all service packs
sql 2k with all service packs

when the "Anonymous Access" option of the IIS is unchecked for one of my
virtual directory then i am getting a "PAGE CAN NOT BE DISPLAYED, DNS
ERROR" after i enter correct user name,password and domain name
correctly. The NTFS permissions are ok. I even tried to put the custom
error pages for IIS, that is also not shown.

But when this option is checked its works fine. My all other virtual
directories are working fine. Please help me to solve this problem. I
have unchecked the "friendly error option" of IE.

IIS logs looks like this when "Anonymous Access" option is unchecked

GET /abc/connect/ - 401
Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.0)
GET /abc/connect/ - 401
Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.0)

This is normal, when IE first try to connect it will connect as anonymous
user, if it failed, it will switch to other mode. refer

I figured out the problem. The problem was actually because of "HTTP
Keep-Alive Enabled" option of IIS

Thanks
