Don't forget the index!
I ran into this issue several days ago, as well as had a re-occurence tonight as I was recreating a web site. IIS doesn’t include index.aspx within its default configuration for new web sites. I started to debug the site and was greeted with a 403 error, which shouldn’t happen when browsing a site that is to have anonymous access. I verified that anonymous access was checked, then I ran down the directory structure making sure I had permissions to all the directories, seemed odd as the site was set up within my user files.
When I still couldn’t find the issue I started looking through the files for default.aspx, the typical starting point. Not finding that the proverbial light-bulb went off above my head and it was a quick fix from there.
