SmartNav and Blank Pages

[Gary]

Hi guys,

This is an old topic from the looks of it but I can't seem to find a
solution that fits. I have a ASP.NET 1.1 program that I have written
that works perfectly on my dev machine. I also have a test machine
that the program partially works on, and I am getting problems on the
production machine. The problem is that with smartnav enabled in the
web.config file on the dev machine, everything works fine. On the
test machine there are 2 NIC's, one with a private IP, and one with a
public IP. Over the private NIC the program works fine, over the
public NIC the app takes you to a blank screen after logging in. On
the production machine the program takes you straight to a blank
screen if smartnav is enabled. Unfortunately I absolutely need
smartnav as I am using a VNC URL handler on the client, and this
requires smartnav enabled on the server in order to function. The
login page has javascripts on it, I have read that this could be the
cause of the problem. Any ideas?

Thanks
Regards
Gary

BINGO! Both servers had the same symptoms, but different reasons. In
both cases the asp_client folder wasn't accessable - even though it
was present. On one server the permissions were set so it could only
be accessed on a cetrain IP range, and on the other the integrated
authentication wasn't checked so the user the program was running
under wasn't allowed in. Both servers now work fully with smartnav
enabled.
