Re: Windows 2000 IIS Strange Issue

In news:%23GzsH6fJHHA.4760@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Matt <mdframe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> stated, which I commented on
below:
If this is not the correct newsgroup to post this question please let
me know where to post.

I have a very strange issue that just came up with a client. My
server is located in the Eastern US and the client is in the UK.
Suddenly when they post to our server on port 80 nothing is received.
We can watch the logs and other traffic is working fine as well the
data received to the web page. Our network group proved the traffic
does reach the server but then it just seems to disappear.

The receiving application is ASP.NET and works fine with many other
clients. Does anyone know how to get IIS to tell me where the issue
might be? I have everything possible turned on in IIS logging and it
shows nothing. It's like the POST just vanishes without IIS ever
knowing about it.

For a test we had them perform the same process with HTTPS and it
works. For now this seems to be the work around but I have been
asked that it not be a permanent solution and the client is demanding
an explanation.

Thanks,

Matt

I am assuming they are opening the website as a web folder to make this work
(IE-File, open, type in URL, check the box 'Open as a Web Folder'. If so,
it's possible that UDP 1023 and above needs to be opened. SSL doesn't
require UDP >1023.

FTP works alot better. :-)

Having difficulty reading or finding responses to your post?
Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.
It's easy:
