You have to create an account in the domain, in computer 1 configure in the
IIS > your application's properties > Directory Security > Anonymous access
and authentication > Change gue user for anonymous access for that user;
then in the folder of computer 2 give enough permissions for the same domain
user to access the files.

¤ Hello,
¤
¤ I have created a web site that is being run on a Web Server (Computer #1)
¤ and information from the web site is stored in an access (Jet 4.0) database
¤ on another computer (Computer #2).  Computer #2 is a domain controller and
¤ has a folder that is shared to hold the database.  When the web visitor
¤ click's "Submit" an error occurs and I believe it is because the connection
¤ string cannot access the shared folder on the domain.  How should I solve
¤ this problem?
¤
¤ 1)  Should I add the Web User Account as a member of the domain?
¤
¤ 2)  Should I (if possible, and if so how) add the domain "UserName" and
¤ "Password" to the connection string so that when the data is being sent it
¤ gains access to the shared folder on the domain?
¤
¤ If I am barking up the wrong tree, please let me know.
¤
¤ Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Once you start accessing remote resources from the web server you're operating under a delegation
scenario. I don't know what type of authentication your web application is implementing but if you
use Basic (w/o SSL) with impersonation you should be able to transparently pass credentials to the
remote resource.

The alternative is to implement Kerberos delegation:
