    Try resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting and renaming your WordPress .htaccess file. If that works, then try reading Using_Permalinks before setting a custom permalink structure again.

    Thanks for your response.

    I changed the permalinks to default, so now the link is http://larchmontchronicle.com/?p=7 which just takes me to the Index.asp file for the site.

    I have looked at the remote list of files and I don’t see anything called .htaccess in either the root directory or the /wp directory. I also did a search through the entire site for anything named htaccess. Where would I find it.

    My site is on a Windows IIs 6 server.

    Since the name of the file begins with a dot, the file may not be visible through an FTP client unless you change the preferences of the FTP tool to show all files, including the hidden files. Some hosts (e.g. Godaddy) may not show or allow you to edit .htaccess if you install WordPress through the Godaddy Hosting Connection installation.
