While trying to go through Chapter 17, I get the above error message when I try to run the examples. I'm on 2000 with current service packs, I can run the projects successfully when I don't try debugging i.e. CTRL+F5 but cannot run them with a simple F5. There must be some simple configuration either in the IIS or in .NET that I have done incorrectly. Any ideas or directions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dennis Keith

Hi Keith

Open Internet Information Services from Administration tools in control panel.
Expand the tree and locate the name of the virtual directory
You may have named it Client-Server Processing according to the chapter.
Right-Click on the virtual directory and select Properties.
Go to the Directory Security tab, and press the Edit button for the Authentication control.
Uncheck Anonymous and check Windows Authentication.

thats it.
Your project should now be ok and debuggable.
(This is the usual step, it may differ depending on other settings and configuration)

I hope this helps.

Dennis,
The reply posted to u will not solve ur problem,
Do one thing
Go to the services, start aspnet_wp service,
Go into properties, it will run by System or Local Machine by default, make it run by asp.net.
and start debugging manager service for remote debugging.

I will tell u exect way tomorrow.
right now i dont remember exactly.

But if u can understand this what i have wrote, u will find ur problem solved.
