I can successfully ping an external IP address from my IIS server when connected via terminal services from a command line.

However, when I set up my web application to do the same thing, the ping fails. The site is running under the context of the anonymous account.

Are there permissions that I need to fix to get the ping to work within the web app?

Update: It does run successfully if I run the web app under the context of an admin account on the machine.

Most likely a permissions issue. Are you able to easily configure your web app to use a user other an anonymous (even for testing purposes)?

  • Yes, it worked when running under another account that has admin rights on the IIS machine. Commented Jul 16, 2009 at 20:48
  • Okay, so its a permissions issue. You're going to have to run your web app as a user that has the appropriate permissions for what you want to do. :-) Commented Jul 17, 2009 at 1:24
