RE: Web App with IIS

I appreciate the suggestion, and I did try, but with no luck. Partly because
this seems to be a problem somewhat unique to .Net and partly because I'm
using IIS under Windows Server 2003 and partly because I'm a novice at IIS, I
guess. At any rate, no one seems very helpful on this but I know the problem
is not uncommon. I see other posts in this group about it. I just don't see
any good answer for me. I've tried all the things I've seen suggested and am
surprised that no one seems to have a better handle on it.
