I have an intranet webserver functioning fine on a PC with windows 2000 and a hacked version of IIS 4.0 to give 40 connections. The machine is not on a domain and does not log onto the network but is obviously accessible to site.
There is now a requirement where certain site users wish to VPN to the network and connect to the sites and the route taken was to move everything over to a dedicated webserver that is on Windows server 2003 and IIS 6. but the resulting site is sooo slow that, at present, it is not usuable ( think it may be due to it being a virtual server run by VMWare but that is another issue).
Whilst we address that, I created another site on a network XP Machine, running iis 5.1 and mapped a drive to the original Windows 2000 machine. The result is I have two sites running from the same databases: the windows 2000 is stable and fast and the XP slower and a little wobbly.
The issue I have is the XP machine will display pages but will not update any and gives the 'The query is not updateable'. The exact same web pages run fine on the other server and so I have concluded it is a permissions issue BUT...
i) I have setup/changed the IIS anonymous user of both machines to use the same name and password.
ii) Given full access to the anonymous user to the entire Windows 2000 machine that hosts the original site and MSAccess databases.
iii) The XP anonymous user has access to the Windows 2000 machine.
Does anybody have suggestions?
Many Thanks in advance
