Man this IE preemtive auth is a pain. Heres the KB article about it:

  http://support.microsoft.com/?id=251404

What I would like to know is what exactly IIS does if you perform the
server side solution mentioned:

 * Configure the Web site to permit both anonymous access and NLTM
   authentication (Integrated Windows authentication).

Even if anonymous access is enabled, why would that stop IE from
preemtively trying to authenticate?
