Unable to enumerate files and directories

[rewebb]

We are trying to create a virtual directory on an IIS5 virtual server.

The virtual directory has "the content should come from a share located on another computer" checked and we type "\\fred\folder1" as the path. We enter a specific username and password (using the "Connect as" button)

However all we get is the following error message...

"Unable to enumerate files and directories because the following error occured:
Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password"

I know the username and password are valid. Both the server and the web server are in the same NT Domain - so it's not a trust issue.

To prove the username is valid I can map a share to \\fred\folder1 connecting as the same user account - that works OK.

What am I overlooking?

This works for me in both PWS (Win98) and ISS(Win2K).
It reads all of the files in a directory. This is done
is server side Java Script.

this.firstBreakYear = 1979;

for (;!this.filesEnumerator.atEnd(); this.filesEnumerator.moveNext())

this.i++;
}


delete this.fileSystemObj;
this.fileSystemObj = null;
