Hi Larry,

Ok, so its the issue with the site (not specific to pages). Based on how
IIS is configured and the web.config file and the Path and etc, the
behavior is different.

I presume the site contents is on the same machine (not on a remote UNC
path).

The Anonymous user setting to browse is under the Site Administration i.e.
http://localhost/_vti_bin/_vti_adm/fpadmdll.dll and the first link. Here
ensure that the Anonymous user is ON and its set to Browser role, then
ensure that the Browser role has the required permissions under Manage
Roles.

Next, if the issue still persists, you could open the IIS Log files for
that site and check if IIS is returning a 200 success, if so then IIS is
fine, permissions on FPSE need to be checked. If IIS is failing with an
error 401 or whatever, then just check which account is used to access the
file - if its anonymous, then the username would be '' i.e. blank and the
file that is accessed need to have read acces for the IUSR account.

If still facing probs, paste those last few lines here of the IIS logs that
get generated when you try to browse and lets see if we can do anything.

Regards,
Vijay

| 1. I get this only for both aspx and htm pages (I have no asp pages in

|
| 2. I've done this several times as well as recalculate the extensions, and

|
| 3. both the old and current aspnet accounts are listed under NTFS
permsiions

|
| 4.) shouldn't the credentials I've wired into the connection be sufficient

|
| any other thoughts on this one?
