Works on my own computer.

Other computers get 403 forbidden, although I can't tell which particular one it is.

Any idea what the problem is?

What OS is Vault installed on? How many users are connecting? There is a limit to the number of connections you can have to IIS on XP. Could this be the problem?

XP. It happens even with 1 user. But where do I check for users? I looked everywhere I could think of and couldn't find it.

I guess one thing that might not be clear is I first saw this error when I tried to use vault from work. I was able to connect to the repository but it brought up a popup window with a 403 error. But I was still able to check out a file - although all files were labeled as unknown. When I wanted to check in the file it gave me another 403.

I was able to connect previously with no problem -- can't today. Have you changed your connection info?

403 is a type of access error. It's usually due to a configuration issue in IIS. Can you only connect from the Vault server machine itself without errors?

Yes, if I connect to the machine from work it gives a 403. But at home it's OK.

I had the server turned off for the night. It's on again.
