If permission is the problem, try the following: 1. In the IIS management console snap-in thingy, navigate to the file(s) that need to access the network resource.
2. For each file, right click the file in the IIS snap-in and select "Properties." 3. In the "Properties" windows, click the "File Security" tab. 4. Click the "Edit..." button for "Anonymous access and authentication control." 5. Change the username and password to that of a user that is set up on the server that hosts the file you need to access. The user on the host server must have appropriate access to the database file. The password you enter in the IIS snap-in must match the password for the corresponding user on the server that hosts the database file. 6. That should do it. Note that this only changes the anonymous user account for the individual page(s) in question, not the default anonymous user for all pages in the virtual site.
