100% correct, I have done the same thing, named a directory whatever.com and no go.

I tried it before running out to the gym at noon. I had a weird feeling about naming a directory ".com". I changed it to "_com" and it worked. :-) (I have a directory with the same company name for that domain.net) Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: S.

HTH. mmm... I think you're right... Probably if the directory in question is below the root of the website... i.e. if the site points to the root directory of c:\clients\www.myclient.com you're fine, but you probably run into problems with c:\clients\www.myclients.com\cap.com where www.myclients.com is the root directory...
