Windows authentication: User name not displayed on the Web page

I published an ASP.NET Web Application 4.0 and moved it the server. When users log in to their machines using Windows authentication and then go to the Web app page in the browser, their user name should be displayed on the aspx page.

On the server, Windows authentication is set to true and anonymous access is disabled.

However, the user name is not displayed on the aspx page. "Welcome Not authenticated" is displayed instead. Did I miss anything? Any pointers are appreciated.

This code is in SiteMaster.cs:

public partial class SiteMaster : System.Web.UI.MasterPage
{

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
        {
            divWelcome.InnerHtml = "Welcome " + System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;
        }
        else
        {
            divWelcome.InnerHtml = "Welcome " + "Not authenticated";
        }
    }
}

I don't know if this has to be modified in Web.config. I'm not using the Login functionality as anyone at work can access the page:

<authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login.aspx" timeout="2880" />
</authentication>
