HI

I have a W2K server running IIS.5.0. I have another W2K server acting as a fileserver. My web-server hosts a site that needs to be able to access files off the fileserver.

I am using php pages, which read a remote directory, and list the contents as links. The problem is that when I click on one of the links, I get asked for a password.

I have set IIS to allow annonymous access using the IUSR_WEB_SERVERNAME, but manually entered the password. On the fileserver, I have created a local user IUSR_WEB_SERVERNAME, and given it read permission on the directory.

So, somewhere along the line, there is a permissions issue, but I can't find it. I have also tried allowing browse permission to the directory, but when I enter the URL, it asks me for a password again?!

Anyone got any ideas where I'm going wrong>

Thanks

Andy
