    Jeff,

    That logfile entry indicates HTTP status: 200 OK - IIS has received the
    request, and is serving the content. I would look at something else
    inbetween your browser and your server as the culprit in this case, if you
    are receiving a "cannot open xxx" type message.

    Cheers
    Ken
