I like the sort of info that I see at:
iisfaq.com
aspfaq.com
www.asp.net (for ASP.Net, if you're so inclined)
You should find tons of info related to whatever you want to do as well as
forums/newsgroups like this to ask questions/contribute responses.
I really don't have a resource in find that gives the "ins and outs" of
IIS/ASP. I usually go harass the development team that worked on "feature
X", and I occassionally do so based on newsgroup inquiry as well. :-)

David, Server still functional...thanks for all your help. I'll take you final comments under advisement and delete the appropriate materialfrom the directories and browse the suggested sites for additional info. I would have to say you are correct regarding my security software changing some of the settings. As I had indicated, I hadn't touched anything before I started having problems. Probably one of the recent downloaded updates. Thanks again for all of your help. I'm sure I'll be posting again in the future as I see way too many posts from folks trying to do this and that with IIS and ASP and as a new green developer I can't see myself coming through this whole process unscathed. Also, do you recommend any good books on either IIS or ASP? I don't care for this whole flying be the seat of my pants approach.
