Long complex question coming. *Hold on to your hats!*

I have an intranet server running W2K with IIS5, which allows authenticated users running Win98SE to connect to it.

I also have SBS2K fileserver with an Access Database held within a Shared folder.

What I'm wanting to do is allow access to the database through some ASP pages on the intranet server.

I have created a Virtual Directory on the Intranet Server called 'database' which is pointing at the database folder on the fileserver, and I have tried connecting as a user from the intranet server, which is also present on the fileserver.

IE:
Intranet Server - INTRANET/webuser
File Server - FILEZ/webuser
(Same UserID/Pwd combination on both servers)

I have tried connecting as FILEZ/webuser from the intranet server, but the virtual directory throws up an error in IIS. If I try 'domain.co.uk/webuser' I receive an error which states that the domain is unavailable instead.

What permissions do I need to set on the intranet and fileserver to allow it to connect to the database on the fileserver?

If more info is required then do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks in advance.
