File not found error using #include virtual with UNC path

[chris_peoples]

I have a virtual directory, lets say it exists at www.server-a.com/virtual-dir/
virtual-dir points to another directory on another server using the
unc path: \\server-b\main-dir

I have a file at www.server-a.com/virtual-dir/some_script.asp, using
the following include:
<!--#include file="some_include.asp"--->

Going to www.server-a.com/virtual-dir/some_script.asp works perfectly
fine

HOWEVER

If I have another asp file at www.server-a.com/my_script.asp, which
uses the following include:
<!--#include virtual="/virtual-dir/some_script.asp"--->
it produces this error:

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0126'

Include file not found

/virtual-dir/some_script.asp, line 2

The include file 'some_include.asp' was not found.

Anybody have any clues as to why it would say file not found, even
though the file clearly exists?

Have you enabled "parent paths" using IIS Manager?

Yes I have that enabled on both servers, and am still getting the
error message.

I thought it might be a permissions thing but the error still occurs
after adding full control to 'Everyone'.

Oh wait, I didn't read closely enough ... there's two servers involved?
This is likely to be a permissions issue. Your asp code is running under the
context of a local account on server A. That local account is not a member
of the Everyone group on server B.

Whoops, now I'm getting a 401. I changed the password of the
IUSR_machine account as instructed, but I didn't realize until
afterwards that those are instructions for Win2000, and I'm on
Win2003. Seems like it would be the same principal though, unless I
missed something.

Got it solved. Had to change the password in IIS and Computer
Management. Thanks for your help on this.
