    Hi Scott,

    I believe that there is conflicts between the directories.

    For example:

    You:
    C:\inetpub\wwwroot\yoursharedfolder\

    YourCustomer:
    C:\inetpub\wwwroot\

    Let's also assume that your customer does not have a web.config in the root nor a \bin folder.

    You can check this by going to your client's site:

    http:\\www.yourclient.com\web.config

    You should get something like this:
     

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Server Error in '/' Application.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This type of page is not served.
    Description: The type of page you have requested is not served because it has been explicitly forbidden. The extension '.config' may be incorrect. Please review the URL below and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

    Requested Url: /web.config

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Also check for the \bin folder and you should get something similar to this:

    HTTP 403.2 - Forbidden: Read Access Forbidden

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Solution if any of these does not happen and you actually get a 404b.htm is to contact your client to get those two things on the root of their server.
