Hi there..

I'm having serious problems reading a simple text file from a network
share.

The schema is like this:

SERVER1, NT4, domain controller, supplier of text file
SERVER2, Windows 2000, Workgroup member, IIS server
WORK1, Windows XP, workgroup member
WORK2, Windows 2000, domain member

Now I want in an ASP application read the text file on SERVER1, using a
network share. If I try to access the test file from explorer, I'm
prompted with a user/password box. I usually use 'guest' for this, since
'everyone' got access to that file.

Now, consider this scenario in the IIS on SERVER2:

WebApplication -> Properties -> Directory Security -> Edit :

Anonymous Access box checked;
User Name : SERVER2\Administrator
Password : REALLYSECRET
Integrated Windows authentication box checked.

With this particular setup the following code fails when I try to read
the text file:

set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'filespec = "\\SERVER1\shoplocal\database\readme.txt" <--1. NT4
'filespec = "\\WORK1\public\fixes.txt" <-2. WORKGROUP PC
'filespec = "\\WORK2\container\mail.txt" <--3. DOMAIN PC

set f = fso.OpenTextFile(filespec,1)

do while not f.AtEndOfStream
        response.write f.readline & "<br>"
loop

f.close

Now with filespec 1 : I get the following error :

error '8007052e'

And that's it.

Filespec 2 :

No problem. This one work, probably because the file is located in the
workgroup, which the SERVER2 is a member of.

Filespec 3 :

error '8007052e'

Now. If I use the SERVER1\Guest Or administrator as IIS user, I get a
permission denied, on SERVER1, WORK1, WORK2.

I've even let the SERVER2 joined the NT4 domain, then all I get is
permission denied.

I seriously hope somebody can help me with this - else my head will pop
off.
