I would suggest you contact your host and ask them to add index.php as a default document (like default.htm or index.html). With your server set up as such you would not need to access index.php directly to load your main blog page, and WordPress links would work properly.

you’re using Microsoft IIS running off Microsoft Server 2003 if Netcraft is not mistaken? does IIS support URI rewrite rulesets specific to that of WordPress?
as an alternative, try Apache – http://httpd.apache.org/ instead of using IIS.
under Apache (not sure about IIS), DirectoryIndex index.php insider an .htaccess file usually does the trick.

There is no DirectoryIndex directive in IIS, nor an .htaccess, but there is the ability to add index.php as a default document, hence my suggestion above.
first time i saw a WordPress site running IIS. amazing.
I see ’em all the time… ;)
To all of you. Many thanks for the suggestion! My ISP managed to get it to work. I have some cosmetic changes I need to figure out, but besides that, everything works!
