I see a whole bunch of problems with the code sample you show (using wscript
instead of cscript, client side code as opposed to server side, address
mapping, permissions, etc.) and I'm not the least bit proficient in ASP. My
suggestion is to try here: http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2059 and maybe
search that site if that particular article doesn't lead you to the answer.
