unable to access virtual directory which is pointed to shared folder on network

3 New Member
Hello,
My problem is as follows:
I am using IIS 5.1 with .net 1.1
I have a shared folder on a different computer on our network which I want to add as a virtual directory on my computer so that I can use

<!--#include virtual="virtua lDirectoryName/someFile.html" -->

So, the problem is that I can only gain access to this virtual folder from my asp page when i set impersonate="tr ue" and set the explicit user to gain access to the virtual folder. I dont want to explicitly have to hardcode a user and password into this. When I create the virtual directory on my computer I tried to set the username to MYCOMPUTERNAME\ ASPNET however an error icon appeared next to the virtual directory listing in IIS.
Does this make sense? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

-Charlie

The problem started when the Working Folder for a project was somehow set to the folder of another project. I set the correct working folder in VSS and deleted the .vbproj files that had been created in the wrong folder on the hard drive. Before I discovered these files, .NET kept trying to create a new project with _1 following the project name. Deleting those files corrected that problem. I deleted the Virtual Directory, rebooted, and...

Is there any other solution for an ASPNET application to access network resources other than running as SYSTEM, using delegation (a nightmare to get to work) or the COM+ solution? I cannot seem to impersonate a user and obtain network credentials using the DuplicateTokenEx call with appropriate parameters even though the call seems to not fail. I check my identity has changed but can only still do local commands. I would consider...

Hi; I created a virtual directory in IIS 6.0 and my asp.net app runs fine. But when it tries to write a file I get: Access to the path is denied. - C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\RunReportASP\images C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\RunReportASP is the directory of my virtual directory for my app. In it's properties I did check "Write" as a permission. What else do I need to do?

I am trying to open web project in VS 2003 using the File Share method. VS is running on XP Pro (Host) and I am accessing the root web of an XP Pro install on Virtual PC (Server) running on the same machine. I have the loopback adapter running on the Host. The Host is sharing it's Internet connectivity with the loopback adapter and the Server is using the loopback it for Internet connectivity. All the networking stuff is working fine.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
