I'm using IIS4 and IE5.

I found an article that discussed this same symptom on IIS3. The problem was based on nested virtual directrories and their permissions. I tried to apply the information to my IIS4 with no luck.

This only happened after I installed the (2) patches for the Security "holes" in IIS.

I have since loaded all my software on another server with teh same exact configuration and it worked fine. The older (broken) server is still not working.

Has anyone reported problems with the security patches?

Thanks,
Michael
