ACL 401.3 Problem solved... from other posts that I found, if you upgrade to Active Directory you will also loose all PHP access and this should solve that problem also. The upgrade to Active Directory problem is also known as prompting you for a username and password. This is an option, if you choose to use the Interactive Windows Auth mode for your web site (that too can be disabled in the IIS 6.0 configuration for each web site), but will still result in the 401.3 unless you add the IIS_WPG rights to your PHP Dir.
