I have an application running on IIS on box A. Within IIS I am using a folde
r
which is a shared folder on other machine B. Again the authentication is
Windows only for this and all the authentication is thru Domain users.

My problem is if I try to access files on Machine B thru Internet Explorer,
I get an error 401.1 which is Unauthorized login Failed.

But if I sign on to machine A and try to make a shared drive corresponding
to the shared folder in Machine B, I can do that, also I can see all the
contents in this folder thru IIS.

Any techie to highlight or give a ray of light on this problem??

Thanks,

Hi,

I recently did something like this for one of my customers.

My first question would be -- would you like this site to be publicly
available from the internet?

Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
