i found answer question. web project impersonating identity.

from web.config:

<authentication mode="windows" /> <identity impersonate="true" username="domain\appuser" password="password" /> 

not sure why issue started occurring after machine name changed, able resolve problem adding impersonating identity workstation (win7) under control panel > users > manage users , adding full permissions project directory identity.

i found post led me better possible option:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;824308

changing security policy of workstation should prevent future problems if other identities used. did not try option yet however, because have deadline meet.
