Accessing Shares across the Network from an ASP page

Folks.....I have four Windows 2000 server boxes which as far as I can tell
are identical. All are in the same Win2K Domain/Active Directory. All are
full patched via Microsoft Update.

One of these four servers is also a web server (call it Server A). I have
created an ASP web page which via the "FileSystemObject" and "GetFolder" I
am attempting to open a folder on each of the four servers. It works on
ServerA and ServerB, but fails with a "Error Number is 76 / Path not found"
error on the other two (Server C and Server D).

The web server is running with the default Anonomous User Id.

All four servers have identical Security Policies and the "Sharing and
Security" settings for the Shares are identical.

Can anyone help me debug this issue?

Thanks.....RDK

You have to duplicate those "anonymous" accounts on either the Domain or the
fileserver locally,...then give permissions to the files for the accounts.

Phillip....Thanks for the reply. I tried "cloning" the anonymous id from my
web server to the others, but this did not correct the problem. What
puzzles me is that it works "as is" for some servers, but others??
Thanks.....RDK
