Help needed with ASP.NET application

Hello,

I am trying to get an ASP.NET application to run on a new Windows Server
2003 Standard box.
I know very little about ASP.NET applications, but we have the same
application running fine on another 2003 box, so I am just trying to set the
new server up to match the new one.

The application is a DLL and an is invoked with an aspx file. When the aspx
is called I get a 404 error, page not found.
The URL in the browser is correct, so this must be a permissions problem
somewhere.
The app is running in the DefaultAppPool, which, from what I have read, runs
under the Network Service account.
I tried writing a simple "Hello World" aspx file and it dies processing the
machine.config file at a line
<add assembly="*"/>
with an 'Access denied: 'MyApp'
where MyApp is the name of the app.

When I switch the pool to MSSharePointPool, the "Hello World" aspx file runs
and displays "Hello World", but with the real application file I still get
the page not found error.

Someone on a newsgroup had a similar problem and he apparently solved the
problem by setting the correct permissions for the Network Service account.
How would I do that? Would it work?

Any help would be very much appreciated, I am really lost.

Ragnar
