Win 2K Server/IIS/ASP.Net

Am experiencing the same symptoms...currently running a Win2k3 server
/IIS/ASP.net

Have the exact same problem running a meta-refresh every 5 minutes. No user
or web browsers are able to open up the default pages after several hits.
Logs do not reveal anything out of the ordinary.
Have to stop & start the service to resolve the problem...

Would appreciate some insights into this....

Thanks in advance....

After researching this, I found out I had 2 things going on:
1. I would periodically get a 'Web Service Unavailable' error. The
Event Log would say that there was some sort of thread error. When I looked
on Microsoft support, there was a ticket that told that it was fixed in .NET
Framework 1.1 SP1. When this was installed, this issue went away.
2. The web server would stop serving pages. To answer your question,
there are no errors written to the log files. Here is the funny thing:
- After the original post, I started a Performance Monitor session
on the Web Service. Once this started, the web server became stable. I even
ran the Microsoft Web Application Stress Tool many times against the page in
question, and nothing brought it down. It was stable until I posted an update
to the code/HTML. After that, the same issues re-appeared. I even tried the
Performance Monitoring trick, but that didn't fix it. The weird thing about
this that the 'Service Uptime' for the 'Web Service' in the Performance
Monitor still keeps on ticking, even though it doesn't do anything.

Thanks.
