Re: IE 6.0 hangs when click on submit button of ASP.NET page

Thanks for the clarification and confirmation that your problem is
really not with IIS, ASP.Net, nor security.

You say you have the same code working on Server1, which is your
attempt to say that the problem is not with your code.

You also said that you have the same IIS and ASP.Net code on Server1
as Server2, so applying your logic, you also say that the problem is
not with IIS and ASP.Net.

This leaves missing replication of your application's dependencies as
the biggest culprit.

You said that you can get things to work by changing permissions on
server2.

I speculate that you are probably missing some ACL somewhere that your
application depends upon to function.

And why it works with Firefox but not IE6? Browsers can handle error
conditions differently. Expecting browsers to handle error conditions
in the same manner is unreasonable since it is not defined as any
standard. If you want consistent behavior, make sure your application
does not get into error conditions that the browser sees (this is why
custom error pages exist -- gives your server-side application control
of what the browser displays for "errors").

Please keep us posted on the results of your debugging of the
application.
