following the advice I have turned off show friendly errors

the displayed message is now

Host Header Required

Description: Your Broswer did not send a "Host" HTTP header field and
therefore the virtual host being requested could not be determined. To
access this website correctly, you will need to upgrade to a broswer that
supports HTTP "Host" header field

Thanks for any help

Huh? I haven't seen this error in years. Nothing current should
generate it. Are you using host headers in IIS?

Jeff

many thanks for your reply, you must excuse my ignorance but I inherited an
IIS 4.0 site that was running on NT4.0 when it came to migrate to Windows
2003 I used the migration tool to take it forward

How can I tell if I am using host headers

thanks again for your time

Dave

First would be if you have more than one site. Second to check is
that all the sites use the same IP, in the properties for each site
look at the IP. Third is to check the host header, check each site's
properties under the Web Site tab, advanced button.

Those headers are not related to your 400 issue. Deleting them can cause
Frontpage clients to stop working against the server.

As Jeff suggested, the 400 error is happening because your website is
currently configured to require a Host header, but your web browsers were
not told to send a Host header when they did their DNS lookup.

You will have to make the decision here -- either your website should not
require a Host header, or your network configuration is incorrect such that
the browsers are not sending the Host header.

My guess is that since this configuration works for most people, the problem
is likely not with your server configuration. Since a server cannot make
the browser do the right thing (like send a Host header), I think that
people who get 400 errors just have to accept it -- if they don't fix their
networking, you can't do it for them.
