Hi. I get the message: HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. when I try to access pages on a Windows Server 2003 system. I have a LAN with 3 computers, two of them Win XP SP2. I have no problem in accessing pages on the XP machines. I can´t even access the WS2003 pages from that computer (e.g. http://localhost/Default.aspx). This used to work on the WS2003 computer. I must somehow have mixed things up at some point in time, but I have no idea how or when. I have i.a. examined the Directory security in IIS Manager and compared with the other machines, but I have not seen the light yet. I would be grateful for any hints, knowledge base articles etc. Microsoft security stinks! Regards, Gudni
