path

Hello,

I have a long file path that works on my server, but a simliar path returns a 404 error when it is on my clients (IIS6) server (http://ddmat.com/).

Here's the functioning file path on my server: http://www.forgefx.com/projects/ddmat/install/Application Files/McCurdys_1_0_0_0/Content/FBX/CCAE1B33/Roof-sectionB-02.fbm/hello.htm

My guesses:

Maybe the file path is too long?
Maybe the ".fbm" in the directory path is invalid?

Sorry for the vauge problem description. Please let me know what additional info I can provide that'd be helpful.

Update: The problem happens even in short paths, with no spaces: http://www.myserver/test.folder/hell.htm

Thanks, Adam
