I installed a ASP.Net website on a Windows 2008 server, which is by default using IIS7. The website seems to work fine, but the post backs on my forms do not work. After a few hours of debugging, I realized that when I manually try to hit the WebResource.axd file in my browser (e.g. I type http://www.domain.com/WebResource.axd in the address bar), I get a HTTP 403 error (Access Denied).

I'm not quite sure where to look next and my Windows 2008 security knowledge is limited. How do I go about giving access to that file?
