Tom,
Thanks for the response. I got it though. What I did was create a web site.
Then it worked. The problem was with the relative url to the 404.asp page.
This is the same problem I was having but with another issue. My images were
not loading. I do have another question for you. When creating the other
site, I specified a port of 9999 so that I can surf the site from in house
by going to
http://SERVER:9999 and the site loads. That solved the 404 and
the site relative (as opposed to document relative) links and images. What I
would like to know is if there is any other way to create the site so as to
not have to use the port when surfing? I know that you can configure
headers, but then don't you need associated DNS records? This is only a
testing server and I am the only one who ever surfs the sites on it. What,
if anything, can I do to change this? Thanks for the help,
Chris
