Have you tried configuring the MIME types for your custom file type? (had to do that for one of mine and it worked a treat).

You missed the applicable part of the link he gave you:

IIS 6.0: The appropriate Web service extension or MIME type is not enabled.

and

IIS6 Static Content: A 404.3 entry in the W3C Extended Log file is recorded
when an extension is not mapped to a known extention in the MIME Map
property. Use the IIS Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in to
configure the appropriate extension in the MIME Map. See the IIS 6.0 Help
file for more information.
