I've created a virtual directory using IIS 7 on Server 2008 that is a UNC path (\192.168.100.4\c...) to another server. The file permissions on that server are set to Everyone, full control. I've gone to Basic Settings, Connect As and set the credentials to ComputerName\Administrator of the remote server. When I click [Test Settings] both Authentication and Authorization are green and says specified user credentials are valid. When I click Content View in IIS, I see the folders and files. I also enabled Directory Browsing.
On the local computer, I can browse the files using the url to the virtual directory. However, when I go to any other computer and enter the same url or try to access a file, I get a 404 error. What am I doing wrong?.. missed?
I deleted the virtual directory and re-created it without it being an application and attached to a specific application pool. Now, I'm able to access the files as I should. I'm guessing that I had the wrong credentials in the application pool for that resource.
