Web API 2 returns 401 when hosted on IIS and return 200 when set authentication to anonymous

I have a WebApi project , which returns some data , this works fine when we query through the URL , but returns 401 when i invoke it from my console app. this project has been hosted in IIS 8 and i need this to run under windows authentication. If i set it to anonymous authentication then works fine, but gives error to windows auth mode. Thanks in advance.

Check HTTP Status Codes RFC ...401 stands for Unauthorized Access means while invoking from your console app you are not passing the Authorization header in your API request.
