IIS and updating web pages?

I don't really know much about IIS or NT4, but I have updated web site files on it for a friend before. Today I was trying to update another buddies site and made the changes to the files I wanted to, but they don't show up on his web site. The updates were done in the wwwroot/main directory and the changes pull up fine on the server, but when you pull the site up by http all you get are the old pages. I've searched the server to make sure I updated the right files and not some duplicate or backup. I'm at a loss, but like I said know next to nothing about IIS or NT4. Any ideas?

TIA!

On the computer you are using to access the page(s), do you have IE set to check for a newer version of a page every visit?
 
netscape has a really persistant (horrible) caching mechanism... clear your cache (and sometimes, that doesnt even help ;-)

also, if you're doing SERVER SIDE include files <!--#include file=&quot;&quot;--> etc, then the server caches the pages strangely. Microsoft says to avoid server side include files for content that gets changed frequently, sorry dont have that link handy...

 
Thanks for trying to help. I kinda feel dumb now, because it turns out he's running two servers. One is NT and the other is Linux. He had assured me that the Linux server was only used as a mail server, but it turns out that the guy who set his site up was using both as web servers. The site turns out to be on the Linux server, while the NT server is hosting part of the site. Part of the site are ASP scripts used to make minor updates like price changes and stuff. Weirdest thing I've ever seen. I did muddle my way through and get the updates he needed done, but I know even less about Linux than I do about NT4.

Thanks Again,
Brian
