There's no 404.3. There's a 404, and a 403.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes

That is an IIS-specific error then. This is what the error message says:

The page you requested has a file name extension that is not recognized, and is not allowed.

It means that the server isn't set up to serve .asp files. This is the page that the Microsoft article links to about it:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942032/You will want the first resolution, not the second. If you can't figure out the last step do a Google search on configuring ASP handlers in IIS7.
