Hello all, here's an update...

I have a testing account on my domain.  I've set its IE security settings fo
r Intranet Zones to Low, and granted it the NTFS Read + Read & Execute + Lis
t Folder Contents on the site's root folder (which is inherited by all the s
ubfolders & files).

I access the site by typing in 'http://suspenses', so no periods in the URL 
or whatnot.

If I try to access the site under this test account, I am prompted for crede
ntials a number of times, then returned a 401.3 error.

The default page that I attempt to access does not call any graphics, styles
heets, SSIs or what not. It is a static ASP page with no server-generated co
ntent whatsoever.

What I have learned, though, is that by trying to access an ASP file, I am p
rompted to enter my credentials.  However, if I try to access only an HTML p
age, BOOM!  No problems there.

Could this be a permissions issue with ASP.DLL ?  Or some other system file?

just a stab in the dark but have those asp files been moved there from a
more restrictive folder where they kept their security settings and didn't
inherit the folder settings? I've seen that happen where you go into the
security tab of a file and it looks like it is inheriting settings etc but
it actually isn't. You could try un-inheriting the rights, chose copy as the
option, hit apply, then check to inherit rights again and hit ok. Just a
thought but who knows since it makes no sense that an html file is fine but
an asp file isn't (unless the global.asa file is in a non-available folder
rights-wise).
