Yep, did that. Can get it working for a bit and then it just dies for authentication. I've had this problem before on other servers. Gave up on it, now I'm trying to make a serious go of it again in the hopes SP1 helped. If I completely blow away the virtual server and then re-create, sometimes it will start working again for a while or it takes several attempts of re-creating before it works again. Eventually, it starts having the same problem again. Best Regards, Dan Bartley Senior MIS Manager NetCarrier Inc.

Make sure after you have the IM installed. Restart the WWW service, and restart IM Vitual Server site, even if they both are showing running...

I've tried every KB article I could find on it and nothing seems to keep it consistently working. E2k, SP1, Win2k AS, SP2. Nothing else on the box, not a domain controller. Have the resource record. Tried host header change, alias. Can't seem to get it to consistently work. Client is the SP1 3.5 version. No other version installed over it. TIA for any thoughts.
