Philip,
IIS6 performs passthrough authentication by default so you need to
check that your IUSR account (if you are using anonymous access) has
the necessary rights to access the remote database files. I presume
thats what you meant when you say "Standard-Internet-User" ? Do you
mean the IUSR account ?
I would also suggest using a true UNC path (i.e \\server\sharename)
rather than using a mapped drive as the drive mapping may not exist in
the profile of every account on the server. It may onl;y exist in the
profile of the user who logged on and created the mapping.

Paul Lynch
