|
|
|
| I was trying to create a virtual directory on a network share drive. IIS does
not seem to allow that. When I use the creation wizard, it does not allow me
to select a folder on a network share. is there any way out. I am using XP
with SP2
Thanks a lot,

| Hello,
You need to use UNC paths. IIS is running as a service, and the drives you
have mapped when you are logged on, are not available to IIS. So, to assure
that it will work, you need to use UNC paths ( \\serverName\share ).
Hope this helps.

| Thanks a lot,
I works almost great with one exception. I am trying to access a folder on a
computer on a domain from a computer that is not a member of that domain.
Although I am specifying domain\user and password, it still saysthat logon
failed. When i do the same form a computer that is a member of that domain,
it goes fine.
Can you help me wth that?
Thanks a lot
