I get these errors when creating a asp .net web application project in VS 20
03 on a remote web server:

"Microsoft Development Environment
The Web was created successfully, but an error occurred when trying to confi
gure the application root for this Web. Web projects may not operate correct
ly without an application root. The returned error was: Active Directory Ser
vices cannot find the web s
erver. A possible cause for this is an incompatibility between versions of I
nternet Information Server (IIS) on the client and the server. The usual cau
se for this error is creating Web projects on a Windows 2000 or newer server
 from a Windows NT 4.0 clie
nt. You can manually configure the application root using the Internet Servi
ces Manager."

"Microsoft Development Environment Unable to set the permissions on the 'bin
' folder to restrict browse access. Active Directory Services cannot find th
e web server. A possible cause for this is an incompatibility between versio
ns of Internet Information
Server (IIS) on the client and the server. The usual cause for this error is
 creating Web projects on a Windows 2000 or newer server from a Windows NT 4
.0 client. You can manually restrict browse access to this folder using the 
Internet Services Manager.
"

The solution builds all right but when I try to browse to the page in Explor
er it comes back with a runtime error and debugging info is unavailable.

I am running Windows XP with IIS 5.1 and the server I am connecting to is Wi
ndows Server 2003.  I am using Visual Studio 2003.

I have the directory on the remote server mapped to a drive on my local mach
ine.

Is this a compatibility error as stated in the error messages or are the per
missions on the remote server insufficient to create a project with DLL's?  
I am clueless here.  Help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Robert
