web service 401 unauthorized

I am using Avanade ACA web services which I guess uses .net web
services under the wraps. My requirement is use windows authentication
and allow user identity to pass thru to the web service and then to a
database.
I have two websites in the same box - one is the UI and other is the
webservices. It works when I have anonymous clicked on in the
webservices but it does not work when I switch this off and windows
authentication on. It throws the exception - system.net.webexception
401 Unathorrized.
I have tried using
<system.net>
<defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true">
<system.net>
in the web services but with no success. I have also given all
permissions to the Network Service (default app pool identity) for the
file system for the web site.
Now this looks like a common problem with .net web services and I am
not sure what else I can try.
Anyone done this before or have some idea?
Thanks in advance
Kishana Webservice method call simply transmits a SOAP envelope; no windows
credentials are included. So using Windows authentication in the IIS without
some sort of mechanism to transmit credentials as one would get with a norma
l
browser request that knows how to reply to the www-authenticate challenge is
not going to work.

Thanks Peter.
So that means if I need to invoke web services programmatically from
the asp.net I will have to explicitly set user credentials on the SOAP
header.
Is there something built into the framework to do that?
