I am having issues allowing anonymous access to a document library. At the site level I have allowed Anonymous Access to "Entire Web site" I have some links on my home page which all work fine, but one links to a document library and users are getting prompted for credentials.

When I edit the properties of the document library, and click "permissions for this document library", the click "anonymous access" it shows they have "view items" permissions. This does not seem to be the case though, as mentioned unauthenticated users are prompted from their credentials. Am I missing something here?

UPDATE: After further investigation, I can get to the individual documents in the library fine, but I can not display a list of the library contents without authenticating. Is there a way to do this?

Eg. I can't get to "www.example.com/document_library/forms/allitems.aspx" without authenticating
