Author 404 Error in IIS 6.0 on trying to view a shortcut file

I get a 404 Error when I try to view a shortcut file on the browser. We are
using IIS 6 and Windows 2003 server. I have added the mime type
application/octet-stream and included the extension .lnk.
The application is in ASP and is displayed via a website. it worked
perfectly fine on Windows 2000 and IIS 5.0. Once we migrated to IIS6, it has
stopped working.

Any tips on this?

Thanks.

David,

I looked through the logs and this is the time I hit the site and the log
for the 404 error.

Add in the mimetypes

I get a CGI Timeout error when I added the .lnk extension and Mime type as
application/octet-stream:

The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing. The
server has deleted the process.

There was no log for this error.
Thanks,

Thank you, It worked on my other IIS server. For some reason, my test server
did not respond as posted, but the production server did.

Thanks again.

It sounds like you misconfigured the test server to run a CGI for the .lnk
extension . Remove it and things should work just fine.
