You intermittently cannot connect to a Web site that is hosted on Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6. When this behavior occurs, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:
HTTP Error 401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
This behavior occurs if the following conditions are true:-
The Web site that you try to view uses Integrated Windows authentication.
The application pool for the Web site recycles during the authentication process.

The 401 Unauthorized error is an HTTP status code that means the page you were trying to access can not be loaded until you first log on with a valid user ID and password. If you have just logged on and received the 401 Unauthorized error, it means that the credentials you entered were invalid for some reason.
