Question : IIS -> virtual directory, resources from network share = HTTP Error 500 - Internal server error

Not a difficult question, but urgent..

I have IIS running on a server that is not on a domain is to serve files from a share on another computer that is on a domain.

The server needs to sit outside group policies in the office, so I have it running as WORKGROUP on the network. The group policies have many ports (including 80) blocked so this was the only way I can get a web server running on the network.

However, the website files (ASP) are located on another server on the domain, since this server gets regular backups. I don't wish to move / copy website files over to the IIS machine.

I've configured virtual directories as share located on another computer, and set up the paths. However I can't seem to get the website to run. I get the HTTP Error 500 - Internal server error.

The same site works perfectly if I copy files to the IIS machine and run them as "a directory located on this computer"

IIS6, Server 2003, .net 2 installed

Any ideas? I'm guessing some basic authentication problem somewhere...
Any help appreciated.

Thanks

The connect as cannot be a domain user ID it will have to exist on before servers as a local account, with the same password.  Once you do this it should fix your problem.
