hi,

i have a web application running under win2003 with IIS6.
there are ASP pages that access and modify local files located in
c:\folder1\folder2\*.*
every thing works fine.

I would like to move the files to another server on the same workgroup
(there is no NT domain). the IIS server and the other server are on the same
workgroup but within different subnets. One is within subnet x1.y1.z1.* and
the other x2.y2.z2.*
there is one router that connects both subnets and I can access from any
server to any other server with \\a.b.c.d\sharedFolder.

i have placed files on the other server and shared the directory as CanEdit.
i have configed the ASP pages to access \\194.90.199.179\CanEdit\ and gave
read+write permissions on shared folder to group guests (since iis is using
IUSR_servername)

i have tried many combination of IIS users and security permissions for
CanEdit but i didnt success to have IIS ASP pages to access files on the
shared folder on the other server (windows 2003 as well)

is it possible to do it without NT domain ?
How ?

thanks in advance

And did you look to see if the IUSR account in is the guests group?
(Hint: It's not. It's not even on the server...)

Giver permission to the share to the account accessing it, in this
case the IUSR account from the other system.

i have created IUSR_xxx and IWAM_xxx accounts on remote server and assigned
them to Guests group. and it didnt work.

further more. i have used a network sniffer between 2 machines and didnt see
any packets at all.

as i mentioned when i use explorer i can easilly access shared folder with
\\194.90.199.179\CanEdit
