Subject: setting default page for 404 error


Ok, the host now swears that the "Check that file exists" checkbox is
set.  However, it hasn't fixed the problem.  I've tried it on my own
machine as well and it doesn't seem to be working.  Does anyone have
suggestions for what might be wrong here?  (I'm trying to set a default
error page in IIS without using the CF administrator.)
