access_asp thread: Can?t access database on another machine


Message #1 by "Bjørn Hanto" <bjohanto@o...> on Tue, 27 Nov 2001 21:37:36
My application runs under IIS 5.0 on machine named PC1 on an Intranet. 

Authentication is set to Basic Authentication and Integrated Windows 

Authentication. 

Through my ASP-application user should read data from Access on another 

box named PC2. Security is set to allow Domain Users to have full access 

to all files on this machine.



I have tried to access PC2 by setting up a System DSN on PC1. I have tried 

to point to the file using ?classical? notation like 

E:\Databases\MyBase.mdb and by using \\PC2\Databases\MyBase.mdb. 

I have also tried to use ADO-connections. 



Trouble is ? I cannot access the database on the other machine. 

It runs perfectly when the database is on the same PC as the application 

itself, but unfortunately I cannot reconfigure our production system.



What am I doing wrong??



Regards Bjørn
