Hello,
By default both Anonymous and Integrated authentication are enabled and if
Anonymous fails then Integrated authentication is used.

In your case, Anonymous could either be unchecked or failing (due to
insuffiecient NTFS permissions for the IUSR account). The fact that the url
you provided to your colleague has periods (ip address), IE assumes it is
an external link and prompts your colleague for credentials.

It also seems like that account hasn't been provided necessary NTFS
permissions and policies (Access this computer from the network) on the web
server- hence even after providing credentials this user is not able to
view the site.
You need to make sure you have only Anonymous authentication turned on and
that the IUSR_machinename account has NTFS permissions on the content. This
will allow everyone to access the asp and html pages hosted on that site.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
