[support] Drupal IIS (error 404) / Drupal Apache works

[Seth Freach]

Nestor,
clean_urls requires mod_rewrite.  IIS won't read the mod_rewrite 
directives in the .htaccess file out of the box.  mod_rewrite is an 
Apache module. It costs, but you can look into ISAPI/rewrite from 
Helicon Tech. http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/
