We've started experiencing asp pages hanging just recently
after installing the latest security hotfixes as of April
11, 2002. At the same time asp pages are failing to
respond, .html files are being served fine. Nothing shows
in any of the logs. We're not sure what to do next.
Anyone with any information? Thanks!
