Hi

I have a website that just has a standard index.html file
in it for its homepage which works fine. In the same
folder i have an executable file called ams.exe. if i
type the url to my home page www.mywebsite.com it works
fine.
if i type www.mywebsite.com/ams.exe i get page not found.
i tested putting a plain txt file in the folder and if i
type www. mywebsite. com/test.txt it works fine. it seems
like its just .exe files.

When i set up the website in IIS 5 it was done with all
default setting.

I have tested it with a server running IIS 6 and it all
works fine.

Any ideas why IIS 5 will not let me. I have checked
permissions on the file and everyone group has
permissions on it?

Thanks
