Cannot Create File in Shared Folder

[Guest]

I have a Win XP Pro machine with SP 2 running on a domain with a mix of Win
XP, Win 2000 and Win 2003 machines. I have been developing a new DotNet web
application feature which writes a file it creates to a shared folder on a
Win 2000 server. Running the web application on my XP Pro machine I get an
error when creating the file in the shared folder. If I move the application
I am working on to a Win 2000 or Win 2003 server it works fine and is able to
write the file to the shared folder. If I move the application to another XP
Pro machine it fails to write the file, so its not just an issue with one XP
Pro machine. The application also reads files from a shared folder, which it
has no problem doing on any of the machines. All requests to the application
are anonymous so the IUSR... account is being used.

Any idea why the application does not work when run on an XP PRO machine but
has no problems on the Win 2000 and 2003 servers?

Mike,

please repost this question in a better suited newsgroup, like
one dealing with ASP.NET or IIS issues. I'm sure you will get
good answers there.
