2000 won't load asp pages as default document

When I enter a .htm page as the default web page
in "documents" it works fine, but if I chose a .asp page
it will not load.

I have never had this problem before...please help!

Consider this: asp pages are not generated at the client. So in order to
open a given asp page, session or no session, an active connection to a web
server like IIS server is implied.
