Attachment oddity (local vs remote)

When attachments are tied to FB cases, they are often (but not always) unviewable locally (FB is on a machine on our network), yet when I am accessing FB from home (not on our network), then I can typically open the attachments just fine.

This is the message I get most often.

<font face="Arial" size=2>File could not be opened.</font>

Do you have windows auth. enabled for your FB site?

Are you using Win 2003?

Dunno what "windows auth.enabled" is nor how to check so I can provide you with an answer. Can you elaborate on how I would determine that? Its basically a stock 2003 install, with enough stuff turned off so that I can get FB to run.

I am on Win2003.

I have full control to the FileUploads folder set up for all users on the FB machine (yeah, I know, not a good idea long term).

I still get the error locally.

Go to Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services

This is the IIS control panel.

Drill down to the Fogbugz directory on the left side.

Right click, get properties > directory security tab > edit anonymous access

Is anonymous access checked here?

What's the user account being used for anonymous access?

Is Integrated Windows Authentication checked here?

When you open FB in the browser while at the office, do you get a Windows popup prompt for name and password? How about when you log on from home?

You're saying you gave the Everyone user full control of  the fileuploads folder?

YES.

machinename/administrator

NO

Never, in either case.

You're saying you gave the Everyone user full control of  the fileuploads folder?

Yes. Win2003 seems to have generated a mild case of desperation.

Are you running any Norton/McAfee type of security stuff on the server?

Of course:)

We're running the corporate McAfee (the "individual" McAfee stuff, like ActiveScan, doesnt support Win2003).
