Error 403 - Access denied by access control list

[john perigo]

Hello All,

I have a network of computers, all running Win XP home
and all successfully sharing my ADSL connection via
internet connection sharing.

I have recently added one more machine to the network -
employing all the same steps as before. This machine is
functioning normally on the network and can access my
mail servers etc OK on the net, but I have a problem
purely affecting my browser(IE) on that machine.

If I try and view html stored on the local disk it works
fine but any attempt to reference something from the WWW
is greeted with the respose:-

(403) Forbidden

You were denied access because:

Access denied by access control list.

Can anybody put me out of my misery and tell me what I
need to do to correct this situation?

Thanks in anticipation,

John Perigo

that just means there's a ACL on the file you're trying to access that
prevents you from reading it...

assuming the file is foo.asp, check the ACL on the file - is there an
Everyone (Read) on the file?

Hi Michael-

Thanks for feedback. Still a bit confused - I don't have
a foo.asp on any machine. Without knowing which file is
causing the problem, then how do I proceed?
