Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your response, but let me describe the setup in detail.

The web application is not running under anonymous user. We are using
Integrated windows authentication with anonymous authentication disabled.
Using anonymous authentication is not an option.

I have even tried giving Domain\Everyone group read/write access to the
remote file share (which is not desirable), but even that doesnt seem to work.

Since this is an ASP application, I cannot figure out a way to impersonate
all authenticated users, which as I understand is quite easy to do in ASP.Net.

The server setup is:-

Web Server Box
O/S - Windows 2000 Advanced Server
Web Server - IIS 5.0 with only Integrated windows authentication enabled.

Remote File Server Box
O/S - Windows 2000 Advanced Server

Both are on the same subnet. I have synchronised username\passwords for the
users in both the servers and each server is directly accessible from the
other without needing to enter any credentials.
