HTTP Error 403

Hi,

We have WSS and SPS installed, with WSS SP2 and SPS SP1. From time to time
when users navigate from our main intranet page (non sharepoint) to any
sharepoint site, or from a sharepoint link sent to them via email, they get a
"You are not authorized to view this page" (HTTP error 403). If the user
presses refresh the page loads fine.

The problem doesn't seem to effect any particular users and is more of a
random problem.

All client PCs are Windows XP2 SP2, and IE 6.0 SP2.

Your help is appreciated.

Regards,

Adrian

I am not sure here, but I would think that SPS SP2 might fix this (seems
odd to run SP2 of WSS and SP1 of SPS together)

Hi Dustin,

I installed SPS SP2 on the weekend and it made no difference.

I get the same thing on my lab domain. I'm running WSS 2.0 without SPS. The
server is a combination Windows 2003 Domain Controller / Exchange 2003 Server
/ Web Server. The Exchange Server does use SSL on the default web site. The
portal uses port 8080 and a virtual directory pointing to a different home
directory. The Administration pages ask for credentials which are accepted
just fine but the actual site does not prompt for a username and Anonymous
access is disabled. My test account has Administrator rights. Any thoughts?
