IIS 401 - Unauthorized to access the document

Sometimes (wery rarely) the following error occurs on trying to access the
ASP (the same ASP file in all cases).
==========================================
FW-1 at prb001002: Unauthorized to access the document.
Authorization is needed for FW-1
==========================================
This error occurs for different users in different times. For example, the
link can be successfully opened for 200-300 times for the same user and then
one time it will return the error.
The authentication is set to Anonymous. The ASP file called has call to
Server-side ActiveX in its code.

Does anybody have any ideas of why that can happen?

Thanks,
Denis

I forget to mention.
The IIS version is 5.0 installed on Windows 2000 Server + SP4

Thanks,
Denis

The error code that you gave is not from IIS/ASP, so you need to follow up
with the third-party ActiveX component that you are using within ASP for
support.

If it is a file system access denied, you may want to try running File
Monitor from www.sysinternals.com to see what user identity is getting
denied access to the file system. It may be a clue. But ultimately, the
error isn't coming from IIS/ASP, so they are just the messengers here.
