Project Creation Error

[Ook]

I am trying to create a project. The web server is IIS running on a Win2000
pro box. I have shared the wwwroot directory under my inetpub directory. I
have previously created the directory I'm creating the project in, and from
IIS given it every privelage I can think of giving it. I go to create a new
C# ASP Web page project. I get this message:

"Unable to set the permissions on the 'bin' folder to restrict browse
access. Active Directory Services cannot find the web server...."

My workstation is XP Home.

This worked a long time ago, and I'm not sure what has changed so that it no
longer works. Of interest is the fact that the project creation process
actually creates the project files, and creates the bin directory, and seems
to create the project just fine. Also, I'm running fat32, so I'm wondering
if that is why it can't set permissions, and has nothing to do with not
finding the web server? The message is a bit ambiguous and generic - it
doesn't help me to find out why the message is appearing.

I got it working. Is it me or are the docs that tell you how to create a new
dotnet project somewhat lacking in detail? I spent hours fiddling with this.
Finally found a document someone posted that says you have to install front
page server extensions on your server, install iis on the client (which is
wrong - I don't have iis on my client, and everything still works), create a
server extensions web, and THEN create your dotnet project. And it works!
Woot!!!! So - where in the docs does it tell you that you have to do this?
Does Microsoft assume that you know enough about IIS and dotnet and related
topics that it's not necessary to mention this? I admit to being a n00b, but
this should not be so difficult!
