Hi All,
A customer of our company has a Windows Server 2003 edition running IIS - now some of the equipment we use checks the web server for updates to its firmware upon reboot. However since upgrading from Windows 2000 to 2003 this has stopped working - it does however work again if we configure an Apache server on a different IP address and point it to that.

It did work on Windows 2000 before the upgrade. Somebody suggested that this is to do with Mimetypes, but when i goto configure them i specify the file extension but then it propmts me for the type of file - how do i answer this - its a firmware file - its not an executable or an xml file etc - so what can i put there?

Any help would be appreicated.
