I am trying to become familiar with asp.net. So I starting using an example from the VS.net walkthrough manual distribute with VS.net.

A simple web-project accessing a database table and displaying the result on a datagrid was the first example.

Now on my laptop it works perfectly but on the desktop the page does not show the grid. There are no errors, the datagrid is just not visible.

The code is definitely the same. Both machines have IIS and front page extensions running.

I have load and re-load .net , IIS many times. I have updated the Windows 2000 service pack to version 3. Updated all the security issues.

I have examined the properites and settings of IIS and I cannot find the difference.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
