Path between two machines

Hi all,

I have the following problem here. We have an intranet server and we have another server where we store Help documents. What I want to do is to write an ASP script on our intranet what dynamically generate a page, listing the foldernames as head titles and the filenames as links to the appropriate files.
It is working fine if I store the Help documents locally, but I could not make it work linking the intranet server to that other computer (\\Panther\Helpdocs\)

Set thisFolder = FSYS.GetFolder(FolderInfo)

gives me a "Path not found" error. If I do the same for local files it is fine...

Any ideas?

Its a permissions problem. The webpages act as user IUSR_<yourwebserver>. I presume that user has no access to your help doc folder/ server .

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it. Do you know if there is anything one should be aware of if he makes I_USR a member of the entire domain users?

IUSR_ is already created!
You should obviously limit as access as much as possible.

Yep, we will do that. What I meant is about domains, I guess we have to make the intranet_I_USR a member of the Whole Windows Networking system (our main domain). Right now it lives only on the Intranet's box.
