iis security : Windows 2008 IIS7 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.

I have a base Windows 2008 installation and took an HTML website
working in IIS6 and moved it to IIS7. I cannot resolve the 403 -
Forbidden: Access is denied. error that I am getting. I have tried
changing the user for anonymous authentication and have successfully
tested the connection. I have tried using the Network Service account
using pass through authentication. My website directory has the
appropriate read permissions for the Network Service and the anonymous
account.

You should try to perform troubleshooting by looking at the IIS log
file for the website and the request in question. Please report the
HTTP Status/SubStatus/Win32Status associated with the failing request.

The IIS log file error codes typically tell you exactly what is wrong
and indicates what needs to be done to resolve the issue -- no
guessing or random actions required.

I'm a bit confused here - why do you need pass-through authentication?

What you should do is look in the IIS logfiles. There will be a HTTP status
code (403) and a HTTP substatus code which tells you why you the request is
being rejected.
