Using IIS 5.0 on W2000 server.

Created custom 404 error file 404.asp to handle redirecting pages that have changed locations and display a "cool" page if it just does not exist.

Works great if request is
mysite.com/equipment

Returns "friendly" error page if it is
mysite.com/equipment.html

I have read all the info that says the file must be 512 bytes, but to be honest I have no idea why it is not working. I have come to the end of my rope. Please help.

Your first example is a directory one level down from your second example. It could be you have the custom error on the /equipment directory and not the root directory that your second example is located in.

Just a thought, have no experience with win2000 servers, only apache but the concept may hold true.
