Hi

On the IIS server we have installed an application called ISAPI rewrite 
which handles the url rewriting. The application comes with a httpd.ini 
file where you write your rewrite rules - this usually works:

[ISAPI_Rewrite]

# RealURL: rewrite pages with parameters
RewriteRule 
^/(?!typo3.*|media|fileadmin|t3lib|uploads|index\.php|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)(.*)\?(.*) 
/index.php\?$2 [U,L]

# RealURL: rewrite pages without parameters
RewriteRule 
^/(?!typo3.*|media|fileadmin|t3lib|uploads|index\.php|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)(.*) 
/index.php [U,L]

If I leave the httppd.ini file blank I get a normal 404 error page, so I 
think its a setting in the realUrl that causes the redirection to the 
front page but im not 100% sure.
