Nathan, i'm pretty sure that CF does not touch the machine.config at all, I think that vendor is feeding you crap. the reason you may be having issues is because of the wildcard handler mapping that CF uses, which can cause problems because it processes each request first to see if it is a CFML page or not then returns it to IIS if it is not. Try to disable/remove the wildcard handler mapping and see if your ASP.net app works, if it does, then use my solution here to have both running together,
