i created a simple asp.net web application exactly as stated here.. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsintro7/html/vbtskdeployingwebsolution.asp

and guess what.. it works fine on http://localhost/xyz.. hehehe.. that's not my problem though.. here goes..

i deployed it to a remote web server or a hostname or whatever u call it by copying files from http://localhost/xyz (am i doing the right thing?) but when i access the url http://hostname..blah..blah.com, a "forbidden" message occurs.. how do i go about it.. please help.. is there something wrong with how i deployed it??? am i making any sense??

No laughing here.
It sounds like a security/access issue on the remote server. As you've
admitted to being about as smart about webapp deployment as I am, here are
some places to look:
Were the files copied to the correct directory on the remote server?
Does the remote server support ASP.NET?
A more detailed treatment of ASP.NET application security can be found here:

And, if other responses don't appear here, you might want to try:

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet
