Thanks David, I agree with what your saying.
When I go to administer the site, I have one IP set for my internal site and
a second for my external site. I add virtual directories under each for the
specific sites that we have in house on my stageing server. so
www.mysite.com/admin in a browser should kick off the default.asp page in
the admin dir. Unfortunatly it's still not happening
I have a .asp extension listed and I have allowed all verbs, but it's not
catching and showing.my page(s).
I get the file not found error page 404.
Any newer ideas?
TIA
