I'm developing a website useing asp. I have a test server running IIS 5.1 on windows XP professional. When I change a page content and then look at this page in a client (Explorer) the page doesn't reload (I see the old version of the page).
It doesn't help refreshing the page, closing the browser or empting the browser cache. I have also tried restarting IIS, using command line to reset the server (IISreset), and have also tried adding "Response.Expires = -1" and "Response.Expires = 0" to the web pages. Nothing works!

I have not found a solution to this problem.

The problem seems to be server related, because when I try to open the changed page with another machine the problem persists.
If I use another PC. I see the old version of the page.

Thanks,

Stretch

I have read through that post and have tried everything except proxy server(I get the same result from [127.0.0.1...] and localhost and my computer name). This problem has been taunting me for several days now.

Hmm. It sounds like a caching problem so I can only suggest you make absolutely sure IIS is set to not cache ASP files.

Do static HTML pages update as you'd expect?

Apart from that, I'm stumped. Maybe some else can offer some suggestions?

A combination of reseting IIS 5.1 and clearing temp files in the browser seems to have fixed the problem.

Thank you again for your help Stretch.
