Hi,

By that you mean in the wwwroot folder? I have done that i.e.
https://[ipaddress]\hello.htm and that works fine.

I did notice however that when I try the webroot folder with
https://[ipaddress]:444/hello.htm, then this is addedd to the log file:

2004-12-14 11:17:19 [ipaddress] GET /_vti_bin/owssvr.dll - 444
[servername]\[username+ip]Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+SV1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322) 404 0 0
2004-12-14 11:17:56 [ipaddress] GET /_vti_bin/owssvr.dll - 444
[servername]\[username+ip]
Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+SV1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322)
404 0 0

I hadn't noticed that before, as I presumed it would refer to the file I was
trying to open - in this case the hello.htm.

Perhaps I should post this query in the SBS group, but I didn't think there
would be a difference.

On top of this, I have just found out that MS ISA was not installed with SBS
and should have been (the chap who installed it swears he did!). So I don't
know if that could be effecting this?

Cheers.
