IIS & Virtual Directory

Thanks for you response!
I turned off the friendly errors, but message did not
change. Still:HTTP 404-File not found, The page cannot be
found.

Since we have some 'anomolies' on our network from time
to time, I would lean more in the direction of the
DNS/networking side. What are some general or specific
things I can ask the network guys to check out to solve
this issue?

Big Thanks!!

Thanks for your response.

It was already unchecked. . . I've checked it & unchecked
it. Same, no effect.

one you need ofcourse)
and if I where you id look at your local security settings to see if
anything. i will post a couple links, just have a look and see if anything
can be done there.
