Hello

I have a project where I need to display graphic files housed on another
computer.
I access these files using a UNC address.

The machine is a windows 2000 server SP 4 with all critical updates.

My asp.net app, tells me it can't find the file in the share.
I know the file is there, so it must be a security issue.

I have tried to add ANONYMOUS and NETWORK to the share and ntfs permissions.
Still no go.

I enabled the guest account and added that account to the share and ntfs
permissons.

Am I thinking incorrectly when I think that allowing anonynous access to
this one share would allow IUSR_webserver access to the files contained in
the share ?
If not, then how can I get the server to allow this access ?

Thank you for your time and assistance.
Jon
