> I noticed this peculiar behavior with IIS 3.0 and was wondering if anyone
> else has run into it:
>
> I have a second hard drive in one our servers that I've partitioned
(NTFS)
> into two 1GB partitions. On one of those partitions, I took the root
> directory (H:\) and shared it so that it could be accessed by IIS 3.0
> (running on a different machine in the same domain).
> The directory and files are:
>
> H:\index.html
> H:\temp\index.html
>
> When enter in the following URLs, I get the following responses:
>
> http://mywebserver/testwww (as well as http://mywebserver/testwww/)
> HTTP/1.0 404 Object Not Found
> http://mywebserver/testwww/index.html
> (displays the "index.html" page normally)
> http://mywebserver/testwww/temp
> (displays the "index.html" page normally)
>
> The problem is that it's not displaying the index.html file by
default--but
> ONLY in the root directory, wheareas in other subdirectories, it does
> display index.html automatically (without having to type it in the URL).
>
> In IIS, here are the settings:
>
> Directory: \\machinename\www
> Virtual Directory: /testwww
> Account info: (using an account/password for use with the shared
> resource)
> Access: Read
> Enable Default document: index.html
> Directory Browsing: (not allowed)
>
> There are no errors displaying anywhere (including Event Viewer).
>
> Any idea why this is happening?
