can't access a webservice setup as a file share in IIS

[hs]

Hi all

I'm having a few setup problems.

If the IIS/home directory tab of my webservice is "a directory located on
this computer" everythings okay.

However, if I change the home directory/tab to "a share located on another
computer" it no longer works.

I know i'm connecting to this computer because i'm able to retrieve simple
html files.

any ideas thanks

"It no longer works"?

Sorry for the lack of explanation. What i mean by 'it no longer works' is if
the web service resource files are sitting on a local drive eg
C:\inetpub\wwwroot , then calls to this web service work. but they dont if
these resource files are sitting on another computer

Ok, I guess there must be something wrong.


:-(

Come on! If you want some help, then please give some information! What do
you mean, "it doesn't work?" What, exactly, is the symptom?

When I try to access the webservice from my client application, I get an
http request error.

I think its a IIS settings issue.

I think this is getting boring.

Please supply all of the information. Every bit of it.

If you don't supply information, nobody will be able to help you.
