Here is an answer to your situation as posted on stack overflow:

I had a similar issue whereby I wanted to protect only a certain part of my website. Everything worked well except in IE. I have both Anonymous and Windows Authentication enabled. For Anonymous, the Identity is set to the Application Pool identity. The problem was with the Windows Authentication. After some digging around I fired up fiddler and found that it was using Kerberos as the provider (actually it is set to Negotiate by default). I switched it to NTLM and that fixed it.
