What version of the client are you running?  I strongly suggest that you 
try the 1.4.1-rc5 binaries which were just released today.

Can you ask the server admin to see if there are any entries (identified 
via IP address) in the AFS logs on the server?

Is this Windows 2003 server by change multi-homed (more than one 
physical NIC in the machine)?  Joined to Active Directory?  Are you 
using the AFS loopback adapter?

I don't run IIS, but I have had the occational fileserver meltdown cause 
issues on my Terminal Servers.  Usually running fs checks and fs checkv 
fix these problems and force fail-over to other fileservers.
