Virtual Path in ASP for IIS 6

Hi all,
This is very urgent...

Recently my hoster upgraded the server to Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6. Now I know that IIS 6 will not support the relative path
like 

I tried to use the virtual path but get error as Page cannot be displayed. Can anyone please explain more about using
 with example ?

Should I replace the virtual path with the actual path like
"C:\Sites\Mysite.com\includes\filename.asp" while using it instead of ../includes/filename.ext or is it just "/includes/filename.ext" ?

I'm confused... Please help me...

In order to use this you have to make sure that you enable parent paths for the IIS Directory in which you are using this.

Thank you lewy for your quick response. Parent path is considered to be a security risk in IIS 6 and that was what made me bit confused in virtual path.

Anyways, I got a reply at http://forums.aspfree.com/t52344/s.html

Thanks once again for your time !!!
