404

I have a webserver running Server 2003 Datacenter and IIS 5 which is hosting a variety of ASP.NET 2.0 websites. I'm attempting to add an ASP.NET 4.0 website which I wrote via the VS2010 Beta, and I have .NET 4.0 Beta 1 installed on the server.

The website appears to be configured correctly; anonymous access is on, it points to the right folder, and is set to asp.net 4.0.

Why might it be giving me a 404 error when I browse to it, both locally and remotely?
