Virtual Directory File Permission Denied

I have an asp page on a corporate intranet that needs to read a csv file from a remote server. We set up a virtual directory on the webserver (IIS 5) box that points to the remote server's directory. We gave the all Domain IUSR's permissions to read and write to the virtual directory. On the remote server that contains the file we used explorer.exe to give permissions to EVERYONE. We are getting strange results.

From the desktop of the webserver we use IE 6 to go to The file on the remote server is read and the page works perfectly. However, if we go to our own workstations and access the intranet site in IE, we get a HTTP 500 error. A couple of times we got an actual script error for the asp vbscript line that accesses the file - it said Permission Denied.

Any help would be appreciated.
