Hi everyone.I host an asp.net website on my pc at home using Server 2008 with IIS 7. The website uses ASP Membership allowing me to restrict what users I allow on the website which includes what pages are available to each user. Awhile ago I started using webservices created using Visual Basic 2008 which allow some of my VB programs to comunicate with my server. The problem is I can only put the services in the root of my website which is starting to make it look untidy, If I put the service in a sub folder created in the website and try communicating with it to test by using a webbrowser ie : www.mysite/myservices/service1.svr I get errors because it reverts back to my login page within the root of the website. Is there a way of making the sub folder seperate from the security of the main website, so I can request information from the service without it reverting to my login page first?
