Hi,
I've got a problem with a CGI application running on Windows 2000
server with IIS 5.

The web site is set up to use NT Authentication and runs a CGI program
written in C++. The debug output shows that the c++ thread is running
correctly as the user that logged in on the Authentication screen and
that the LOGON_USER and REMOTE_USER environment variables are set OK.

The CGI C++ code can access files on the local web server OK. BUT -
When I try to access files on another server using the UNC name, I get
an "Access Denied" return code. The logged-in user has access to the
files on the other server so why can't I access them?

Thanks in advance for any help.
