Web Form Submit 404 Error

[AGagliardi]

I am running ASP.NET on a Windows 2000 Server and for some reason,
despite the fact that aspx pages load and render just fine, when a
user tries to submit a web form (form runat="server") it returns with
error 404 - File not found.

Any idea why this might be?

Thanks,

Could be anything - -
what does the code look like for the submit handler?

Update:

Well, I know the problem is not with the code because I tried it with
the simplest web form possible. However, I noticed something
particularly odd. When the form uses the post method (which web forms
do by default) it gives me this 404 error (even though it's clearly
pointing at the page it had just rendered). However, if I tell it to
use the get method, it works just fine! Obviously using the get method
is no kind of solution, but it certainly sheds an interesting light on
the problem, no? I believe that IIS is using the wrong resources but I
reinstalled .NET 1.1 and it didn't help so perhaps a more serious
reinstallation is in order. Any thoughts?

P.S. I assure you it's not the code. In fact, it doesn't even need to
be a web form, any form using the post method causes this problem.
