IIS5 hangs on returning .asp

Thanks Paul

The same behaviour started to occur on my mirror machine
that I had previously reported trouble free. I have
performed the steps outlined at <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.iisfaq.com/?" target="_blank">http://www.iisfaq.com/?</a>
View=A463, The test asp ran fine in a fresh FrontPage,
and the behaviour went away after a log out/in.

Can you please tell me why, when I run my intranet on IIS
from a desktop url shortcut, do some asp pages require me
to dialup before they display? When the mouse passes over
the hyperlink on the homepage the mouse symbols changes
to display the 'not available' sign. The files are on my
machine, of course, and hosted by my web server. So I
don't understand why they are not available.

TIA, Simon

Try using IISState:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.iisfaq.com/default.aspx?view=P197" target="_blank">http://www.iisfaq.com/default.aspx?view=P197</a>

Testing an ASP page without a webserver is insufficient proof of its
functionality (i.e. FrontPage/Dreamweaver is insufficient). The webserver
is ultimately going to execute the ASP page to generate dynamic content.

The Dialup dialog has nothing to do with IIS at all. It has to do with your
Dialer settings on the client side (i.e. is your system configured to be
"always connected" or is it expecting to dial up to be connected to the
Internet)? Requiring a "Dialup" usually means your system thinks your not
connected to the Internet and you're trying to access an Internet resource.

Having a web server on the same machine as the client doesn't mean the
client is going to treat networking to access a URL on that web server any
differently... It's going to try to access the URL you specified via normal
networking, and if it cannot get to it and doesn't have it in its cache,
it's "not available" until the client can get back online to retrieve it.

Hi, Simon.

Take a look at IISTracer, <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.pstruh.cz" target="_blank">http://www.pstruh.cz</a> - it monitors IIS in
real-time, during its work and lets you help to reveal the problem (some
problematic script usually ). IISTracer is free for 60 days.
