RE: IIS problems

Well, half my problems are solved (I still have loopback problems on the
second server). I enabled auditing on the first server and began to monitor
the Event Manager. The error messages said something about a failure to log
on IUSR_machinename because of time restrictions. Turns out that the IIS
reinstall had gone into the tab that control time-of-day access for
IUSR_machinename and wiped out the grid. It was blank. Granting 24-hour
access fixed that problem. I've seen NT do some strange things but this is
new for me!
