Logging in works OK, the user and password are OK, but I think I
messed up the password before.

I made sure it is OK now.

So, my web service and web site are in their own app group. It's
identity is set to the domain user.

Now, when I try to access the web site from the IIS machine (where it
is hosted) I get a message saying "File or assembly name XXX.dll, or
one of its dependencies, was not found"

Each time i refresh the page the name XXX.dll changes.

Help!
