SSI & Virtual Directory

[bwcc]

I'm working with a new Win2K3 Server running IIS 6 w SSI enabled.

I have an index.shtml page that is calling:

#include virtual="personnel/vdaily.shtml"

The personnel folder is a virtual directory on a different server with read & execute permissions given to everyone in the domain (both servers are part of the same domain as well). On the webserver, the page works fine. However, on any other machine (which are also part of the domain), I get 'Error processing SSI file'.

However, I can browse the personnel folder and type in :
http://webserver/personnel/vdaily.shtml
and see the page just fine from any station.

I have also tried using :

#include file="http://webserver/personnel/vdaily.shtml"

with the same results. Mime types are setup in IIS6 to allow shtml files. This code works fine if I physically copy over the personnel directory to the webserver, so my thinking is that there is some permissions problem accessing the files over the virtual directory. But if it were permissions, why can I call the file directly? Website is set to use integrated windows authority, but I have tried it using anonymous access and baic authentication as well.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

What if you try accessing it using the UNC?
\\server\share\file?

Yes, using an UNC connection works.

I forgot to mention that I also redid the page in php format and the php include did not pull the file from that virtual directory either.

Updated- problem seems to be with Virtual Directories. I created a vd to c:\temp and received the same problem.

**EDIT**

Fixed this problem by changing the site to anonymous access and changing the anonymous user/pwd to a domain user and then added that domain user to the share on the 2nd server. Too bad Integrated Authentication does go all the way with the permissions....
