I am banging my head against a wall here on what should be a trivial issue.
I have just one site set up that is going to be used predominantly as an internet, but have a component for users to login as an extranet. I have gone thru everythign and still I am having a significant issue. Anything that is a list or library is not visible when logging and requires a password if I enter the URL directly.
Background:
* SharePoint 2007 installed and all components of the website appear to work correctly when anonymous access is not enabled and I login.
* "Anonymous Access" setup on IIS. (done)
* Central Admin -> Application Management -> Authentication Providers -> "Enable anonymous access" is checked (done)
***** Set up to use Windows Authentication
* Main Site -> Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Modify All Site Settings -> Advanced Permissions -> Settings -> Anonymous Access -> "Entire Web Site" (done)
- If I only do "List and Libraries" it will automatically prompt me to login as expected.
- I have tried specifically enabling anonymous access on every list and library; with no luck.
Any help would be very much appreciated!!!

Thanks for the feedback, but it still doesn't want to work.
I was surprised that I did not need to specifically allow anonymous access within IIS which is contrary to much of the documentation. I swithched that back, restarted IIS and changed all of my lists/libraries to inherit permissions from parent. When I go to the site I am able to access the main pages and navigate around (even go to subsites), but is still doesn't allow me to go to (or even see) any of my lists/libraries.

Randine,
I never resolved the "actual" cause of this issue. I tried everything under the sun... multiple times. During the course of my research I remember finding one reference where someone had stated there was an issue that if you do not specifiy "anonymous access" enabled when creating the initial site collection, it does not always work when trying to enable it after the fact. I could not find where are what the internal setting was, so I finally had to start over and recreate the site collection. When I did that and made sure "anonymous access" was enabled from the beginning, it worked fine.
The knowledge base I referred to was just in the Microsoft Support.
I hope this helps even though it is not the ideal answer.

I fixed the last set of errors based on a knowledge base. I still have not resolved the Anonymous Access problem for lists/libraries. I heard about a possible issue in which the "Style Libraries" are not allowing anonymous access. I specifically granted anonymous access to that, but it did nto fix it either.

How did you fix the below error please Which knowledge base are you refering to as I am having the same error!

Thomas,
Sorry I haven't followed up sooner, but I have been on vacation.
Did the KB article that Veeraj Arasa refereced solve the issue As I noted in a previous post, I resolved my issue a different way, but this looks like it was what I was looking for, but could not find earlier.
Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg,
I tried following these steps and creating a new site collection with anonymous access checked. I am still unable to access lists and libraries after enabling anonymous access on the new site. Did you create a new extranet site or was this all on the default intranet site
When you say recreate the site collection, did you actually reinstall SharePoint server and create the site collection again or did you actually just delete the site collection that wasn't working and create it again
Do you have a KB article or did you call support
Thanks,
Thomas Goddard

You don't need to swich anything directly on IIS. SharePont manages it itself. All you need is set the check box at Central Administration > Application Management > Authentication Providers > Select proper web application and zone here! > Edit Authentication. And any lists and libraries must have no directly set permissons but inherit them from the root of the site.
So maybe the trouble is that you manually change IIS configuration. I think you should try swithing all these back (inclusing sharepoint settings), then perform iisreset (restrart IIS), then make sure that everything works as expected (no anonimous allowed) and then try to change only the setting I mentioned above.
Good luck.
P.S. If you have multiple zonez and only some of them are supposed to allow anonimous, then please check if the links you follow (and the address you type) are for the proper zone.
