wordpress iis6 permalink /%postname%/ doesnt work IIRF url rewrite needed?

I have a wordpress site on iis6 and I want this:php?id=6 to look like this: /postname/. When I change the permalink I get a 404 error. I have the IIRF proxy extension enabled, and in my root directory I have a IIRF.ini with the following code:

RedirectRule ^/blog/index\.php/(.*)$ /blog/$1 [I,R=301]
RewriteRule ^/blog/(?!index\.php|wp-|xmlrpc)(.*)$ /blog/index.php/$1 [I,L]

Is this code incorrect for a permalink of just /%postname%/?

Thanks

I just installed IIRF 2.1 on Windows Server 2003 running IIS6.

Your address seems to have /blog/ on the very beginning, but I'm afraid we can do it simpler. Bellow, follow my whole Iirf.ini, with a simple permalink working:

# Iirf.ini
#
# ini file for IIRF
#

RewriteEngine ON
StatusInquiry ON
IterationLimit 5

# this will allow ugly URLs to not be processed at all
RewriteRule ^/(?!index.php)(?!wp)([^\.]*)$ /index.php/$1 [I]

Make sure this simple form works, and then add /blog/.

Some literature that may help (it helped me)
